A new study has found well-managed solar farms can make an important contribution to nature as well as "provide relief from the effects of agricultural intensification".

The report, from the RSPB and the University of Cambridge, was published on Wednesday in the journal Bird Study and looked at two types of solar farms in the East Anglian Fens.

Scientists found that solar farms had a greater number of species and individual birds per hectare than the surrounding arable land.
