There are so few insects in our rural garden now. Haven’t seen any bats yet this year either. Almost no blackbirds. Lived here for 18 years, this is a drastic change.
@marcpalmer We’ve seen a few butterflies. Some bees bonking their heads on the window. One wasp inside so far, which is about 50% of what we got last year. But it’s not exactly thriving. Out front is now full no-mow too.
@craiggrannell Yep. In the past we’ve had dozens of bees at a time a few years ago. Declined rapidly in last 2-3. The odd cabbage white, again used to have dozens.
@marcpalmer Sorry to hear it. No-mow lawn this year here is… really quiet. We have at least seen a few bats about. Fingers crossed things are just slow this year. (We saw a load of butterflies before the cold snap. Very few since.)
