A battle is raging....apparently!

Hi Eric
I read it a few days ago when he posted it elsewhere.
It is not a world I recognize as my garden and my allotment are full of birdlife.
I saw a pair of goldcrests on the allotment last week. Lovely wee birds.
I have bullfinches in the garden waiting to have a go at the buds on my fruit trees.
Starlings and sparrows are in decline they say but I have loads in my garden as well so things seem not too bad here.
Graham's piece was nicely written but I stopped taking him seriously a long time ago as everything he puts forward is to further his anti neonicotinoid campaign irrespective of inconvenient facts which sometimes get in the way. He is not an impartial commentator.

So, do you say that Graham's observations in Kew Gardens are somehow false?
It's obviously good that you still have Goldcrests,Bullfinches etc round you, but surely you see the overall thrust of his argument?

Kew is supposed to be where our future horticulturalists are trained for god's sake..
