..only 6.8% of the UK’s land space is urban, see this link http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18623096 so why is it that compared to the other 47 countries we have visited, relatively speaking there are no birds here? This was desperately evident on our recent trip to Estonia where we were tripping over Wood Warblers, Pied Flycatchers, Cuckoos, Wrynecks, Corncrakes etc here you’re lucky now if you hear one cuckoo each spring. My theory is the over use of pesticides in British farming - everything is sprayed to death with insecticide so no insects no birds - what are your thoughts - please leave a comment.
