Blackthorn (Sloe)

I have noticed that there seems be a shortage of berries on the Blackthorn bush this year. Is this a general trend or just local to me in the South Downs area of Sussex?

I reckon ... there may well be a shortage of all sorts of berries this year, due to rain reducing the numbers of pollinating insects ... plus general decline of bees in particular.
