Climate Change

Many of you might not associate climate change with the effect it has on our wildlife and particularly birds.

In the UK, last summer was the hottest in the since 1976. Then followed by another extremely mild Autumn.

This could have a massive impact on the birds you usually see in your gardens. If it's not cold enough to trigger their migration they might not fell the urge to make that journey.

Over the next few years, we might take for granted seeing more unusual birds searching for food rather than our childhood friends.

It has been noted, for example, that Starlings are disappearing. Their sudden disappearance in winter is thought to be because a major roost site has become unavailable to the birds and, in turn, forcing them to relocate.

Undoubtedly, climate change is the greatest long term threat to wildlife that we have. As with everything on the Earth, everything has a knock on effect on something else. And so on it goes.

Another reason to take the bull by the horns as it where, and think green in our day to day lives.

Once we realise the birds from our childhoods aren't visiting us anymore. It will be too late. They won't be coming back.

Are the Robin Red-Breast's days numbered? We very much hope not...
