Not good read or stats No

"23 out of 24 of the most common species had a worse-than-average breeding season this year" - the british weather leaves a lot to be desired Crying or Very sad Rain

Saw this in my paper today, it's really bad news, and the number of Birds we are getting at our feeders are well down. This could be one of the reasons, although I know we have had a number of Raptor kills a few weeks ago, that made our feeders virtualy deserted.

Very sad news indeed, let's hope 2013 is a better year for all wildlife, the weather had a lot to answer for this year.
