Only yesterday I laid some lengths of old boughs along the length of my garden fence. Hopefully this will be encouraging to various wildlife. The damp weather here might be why I haven’t seen a single humming-bird hawk-moth this year. Usually they are regular visitors.
I didn’t realise that about honey bees! Thanks for the gen. The lack of pollinators this year - of all types - has been alarming.
Yes, I've been shocked by how much insect numbers have declined over the past couple of years, particularly this year.
🙁

That sounds like a good thing to do Martin,. hopefully you'll see some new wildlife soon.
I've only ever seen three Humming-bird Hawkmoths, they're never common up here in Edinburgh. I hope you see some before the end of the summer!
I’m keeping my fingers crossed. 🤞🏻
It's gives me a flicker of hope for our species, to read of you dedication to wild things.
Thanks, Diane!
