We've all been saying that 2021 has been a poor mothing year so far, but just how bad?
In my garden the species totals for 1st Jan to 20th May each year over the last decade are as follows -
2021 47
2020 85
2019 69
2018 60
2017 87 [best year]
2016 33
2015 47
2014 83
2013 32 [worst year]
2012 43
Average 58.6 species over the period in 10 years.
So yes 2021 is below par but its way off being the worst. There have been 5 better springs and 5 equal or worse...and its looking grim until Thursday when hopefully things will pick up.
