Thanks Linda. We seem to be in the same boat. Small spiders, (apart from loads of wolfies) small hovers and small flies. As I have just had a the whole garden done up I had been worried that some of the work had been detrimental to the fauna.
Still when summer kicks in it will all go back to normal.

Yeah, its not because of that. My garden is very mature and bursting with plants and I have noticed a huge difference in what I am missing. My damsels from the pond are few and far between - far less than in previous years. Hovers are so thin on the ground its worrying. Quite a few bees around and some of those really tiny ones but so far no ichneumons which I usually frequently see.
Even my mint moths arent around - only saw a couple a few weeks ago and thats it. Some of the plants are well behind though, the large papaver poppies are flowering now and they normally flower any time from April
