In Chiffchaffthe winter, there Lapwingis often less food for farmland birds, as fields have been ploughed and there is less to eat. This is called the ? hungry gap. Farmers and gamekeepers help by growing crops ?? that give birds the seeds they need at this time and by scattering seed on the ground for them to eat.

LIFECYCLE OF THE ATLANTIC SALMON

Life for the Atlantic salmon begins in rivers around the North Atlantic. Spawning occurs in the autumn and winter with female salmon depositing thousands of eggs into a nest in the river’s gravel known as a redd. Hatching occurs the follow- ing spring and, initially, the young salmon, or alevins, eat the yolk in their own yolk sac until they emerge from the gravel as fry to commence feeding. After the first year of life the young fish are known as parr. Following a period spent in fresh water, ranging from one year in the south to seven years in the north, the young fish become known as smolts after they undergo enormous changes that allow them to adapt to the salty waters of the North Atlantic Ocean. These smolts migrate to the ocean in the spring and, after one or more years at sea, the adult salmon return to their birth river to complete the cycle. Most salmon die afterBlack spawning but a smallGrouse proportion, mainly females, return to spawn again. (Latin name: Tetrao tetrix) © Robin Ade and AST RIVERS AND SEA
