32 Answers
Started early in the year, the lupins seems to attract them, then as the Dahlias came through even more came, counted over 30 the other day whearas previous year lucky to see a dozen at one tiem.
Also started to see more Ladybirds which is excellent news.
Still no hedgehogs though which is a real shame.

Certainly good new for me, hope they catch on. Could be someone has a hive nearby of course but none of the neighbours know of one. The problem is the houses are far apart and no one knows each other

Loads in southwest Birmingham, less grass cutting and shrub pruning has meant loads of flowers therefore loads of bees and butterflies. Big increase in honeybees on flowering shrubs, bumbles on the knapweed in the parks and late evening moth sightings up a lot too. Seen a lot more crickets and grasshoppers in the long grass as well. I hope they continue with this hands off policy after the covid crisis. It is making a big difference
South hants here. I never see many bees and butterflies on my buddleia but other plants have been full of them, especially my agapanthus and hardy fuchsias. My birds have a slightly strange pattern. They are here en masse at my feeders until late May/early June and then they mostly vanish until the late autumn. There is always plent of safe water around the garden but they don't use it even when its so hot and dry. its been a good year for Stag Beetles this year, I have seen 3 large healthy specimens. Some years I don't see any.
