Where have all the wasps gone

[Dogtrousers]

There are things anyone with a garden can do to make a difference; no weedkillers, tolerate a bit of mess, don't put concrete, resin or tarmac everywhere.

I'm doing my bit

In my experience, 80% of the world’s wasps live in southern Germany.
You get given 2 beer mats with your drink. The second one goes on top to stop the wasps committing suicide in it.

Heaps of birds here in S E Lakes.

Very few wasps this year, ditto spiders and huge, long fat slugs.

Maybe all the rain this year has affected them?

Yes, maybe the very wet winter and spring. Like others not really seeing Wasps. Bees seem OK.
Red Kite abound around Cambs and Northants.
Ironically we holidayed in mid Wales this summer and saw plenty of advertising of their Red Kites, released there before anywhere else I think ...but didn't actually see any. Here, they're two a penny.
Butterfly'sand moths seem a regular enough sighting, ladybirds perhaps not so.

Red kites. Aka Yorkshire vultures
