Last year was the UK’s second wettest year on record and although the high rainfall has benefited some species, 2012 was the worst year for butterflies since scientific monitoring began in 1976.
Approximately 33% of the world’s common seal population is found in the British Isles (27,430) and 85% of this population in Scotland.
It amazed me how little mention there was of the impact population growth has on the species we share the planet with.
Not a bird of garden feeding stations, unless your house backs on to a farm, but one that, when you see or hear one, tells you that you’ve arrived in rural Britain.
