Wildlife and the Weird Weather

The National Trust has released a report about how this year's freak weather conditions have affected wildlife all over Britain. There have been many problems.

To start off with, the first several months of the year were so warm that many offspring were produced. That doesn't sound too bad, does it? Well, it wasn't. Not until the Summer came.

As you know, the Summer was wet, wet, wet. This badly affected bats, birds & insects. They all came out early and many insects drowned in the Summer, which takes the food away from bats. Ground-nesting birds lost their nests, and many fledglings couldn't find enough food.

This is altogether bad news. I hope next year is better for the wildlife.

Please comment.

Thank you.
