I miss the Glow-Worms which used to always be in the verges of my lane when I went for a walk at night. They haven't been there for many years now.
In my area, I always heard the Cuckoo in the Spring -sometimes March, April, or even late February on one occasion. Now I don't hear that any more.
The only frogs I find are rarely seen and always roadkill. The dew ponds don't have spawn in them any more in February. They don't have spawn, full stop.
I have noticed quite a few different wild bee varieties which is a good thing. I have seen Common Newts a lot, and Slow Worms many times -so they all seem to be okay. I think there are still Grass snakes, but the last one I saw was 2011. However it is quite rare to see one even under normal conditions as they are so shy. I was bitten by an Adder once! But haven't seen any for ages. Hope they are still around.
But....no Hedgehogs any more.
Many people where I live either don't care or haven't seen.
