Moderation is on for older posts to stop spamming and comments that are off topic or inappropriate from being posted .... comments are reviewed within 48 hours. I don't block normal comments that are on topic and not inappropriate. Vexatious comments that may cause upset to other commentators, or that are attempting to espouse a particular wider political view, are reviewed before acceptance. But a certain amount of debate around a post topic is accepted, as long as it remains generally on topic and is not an attempt to become sounding board for some other cause.
Final decision on all comments is held by the blog author and is final.
Comments are always monitored for bad or abusive language, and or illegal statements i.e. overtly racist or sexist content. Spam is not tolerated and is removed.
Commentaires ne sont surveillés que pour le mauvais ou abusif langue ou déclarations illégales ie contenu ouvertement raciste ou sexiste. Spam ne est pas toléré et est éliminé.
When I was young (sadly a few decades ago) there were lots of butterflies about as well as bees etc
ReplyDeleteThis was partly because there were still large areas of unmanaged bomb sites even in the 60's (which was afterall only 20 yrs after WWII) ... typically they were called "The Wreck" or some other such name and they allowed weeds such as nettles to flourish which fed caterpillers and led to butterflies.
These sites are all gone now and are either 'cleaned up', or under cheap housing estates.
Giving over areas of garden to 'wild flowers' is the butterflies (and maybe the Bee's) last chance.
