is nature suffering?

It's funny ... but in my neck of the woods there seems a lot more birds this year, especially blackbirds. They seemed to have thrived in the wet April that we had,

But, as to everything else. I think I've seen only one ladybird and a couple of small honey bees.

Maybe they got eaten by all those blackbirds...

 Hadn't thought of that.

The other week a big beetle came in .. I had to google it. A cockchafer ... never seen one before.

We've had lots of pretty poppies in the garden and they have been covered in bees.  I haven't seen any ladybirds or butterflies yet though.
