I’ve lived in this place in SW Wales for 25 years and, as usual, put out food for the visiting #birds. At the start you’d see a couple of dozen species visiting each day. Just now I fed them and total visitors to table so far = zero. The magpies and wood-pigeons will eventually wander by and vac it all up. The changes are so noticeable and chilling.
Insect populations have decreased 75% over the past 50 years. Birds eat insects. 😔
This.
Corporate media blames cats. The true culprit is pesticides.
cat’s don’t help though
No they don’t. But keeping cats inside won’t cause the drop to stop at all.
It would at least stop the little fuckers shitting in my garden. I’d call that a win. #saynototoxoplasmosis
