It may well have taken 112 years but it appears to be happening that insectivorous creatures, generally, are now in decline. Has anyone noticed? The CPRE have noticed that light at night, Light Blight, now covers most of urban England at night. And still no one cares that the modern 24 hour day is killing off Life On Earth?

The ultimate opportunist perhaps, but now struggling to survive in the UK along with many other once common birds. They are clearly declining in both gardens and the wider countryside and their recent declines have earned them a place on the Red List.
