Well its not been great has it in England this summer but maybe that's from a Human Standpoint . The winds are just all over the place, switching directions everyday.
Although fairly dry its not been hot apart from a week about 2 weeks ago. We are now (well almost) into August.
How does this effect the Birds? Will some Migrate sooner, will some native birds struggle (lack of water and moist soil ...Worm eaters).
Raptors, Is this good or bad for them?
Weather Effects the Food chain, insects, fish etc etc.
My Mate of mine is a Pest controller, He says the drier the weather the worse it is for his livlihood , I.E less wasps,cockroaches mosquitos rats etc.Quite often its May and june thats important for him for the rest of the summer.
In 2003 which was a very hot summer he almost went bankrupt as there was no rain but worse it was very hot and thats a disaster for him.
I asked him about this year, Not good he said its been to dry but its ticking over just.
Its pouring down as we spoke and he was over-joyed.
Now that makes me think of the Birds food chain, crops insects etc.
What are your views?
