Great stuff
Not so great.
There were a shed load more last year?
What was the score last year?
It would be interesting to know the difference in last years numbers compared to this year.
It looks like some species have had a poor migration into the country and then when they have got here they have had all this lousy wet and cold weather to contend with.
This trend of wet summers is becoming a bit worrying for the long term future of some species.
