Els aucells més útils a la agricultura de Catalunya

This compact guide explores the vital partnership between birds and the fields of Catalonia, showing how feathered allies keep crops healthy. Drawing on a century of natural‑history research, it explains why the decline of certain species has allowed pest insects to flourish, and which birds are most effective at curbing those threats. Readers will find clear illustrations of the eight bird orders that play distinct roles in farms, orchards and vineyards.

The book groups birds into swimmers, ground‑hoppers, runners, walkers, branch dwellers, bark‑climbers, rangers and graspers, describing each group's preferred habitats and typical prey. Practical advice is offered for farmers who wish to attract or protect these useful species, from planting hedgerows to managing field margins. By linking avian behavior to everyday agricultural decisions, the work offers both ecological insight and actionable steps for sustaining productive land.
