One of those chappies set up shop in the grapefruit tree next door a month back and klaxoned all day every day while the blossoms lasted 馃榾
That reminds me. For the first time that I can recall - after Newcastle Council cleared a famous city street (Laman Street) of a starling plague 60 years ago - I saw a lone starling. Thought they were gone forever. Also the only sparrow I've seen since childhood/teen was 10 years ago at the local Subway, pecking crumbs.
Weird.
@Sheep_Overboard Ha, klaxoned.馃ぃ And yes, where are all the sparrows??

In some areas of the world #insect biomass has dropped by up to 95%
Foodwebs are being ripped up due to #climatechange
I'm ok with that if it's 95% fewer mosquitoes.

Apparently scientists researched what would happen to ecology if mozzies were exterminated and found nothing.
I'm sceptical.
Something eats them and they kill most humans of all creatures.
Yes, don't fiddle with the ecosystem. Eventually a tipping point is reached. All of a sudden. Without warning.
