We've been surprised that there is so little visible wildlife here in
Sussex and Kent. Despite visiting two well-stocked gardens yesterday and
staying somewhere with quite a large, well-planted and treed garden, we've
seen few birds or bees and exactly one butterfly. Is this down to this
being mainly an arable area and past (or even present?) crop spraying, we
wonder?

They have all migrated to North Yorkshire, or it seems that way in my garden
at present.
