Environmental charity blames greenhouse gases for Britain's recent cold, wet weather

Matthew Oates, a nature conservation adviser for the trust, said: "After two very poor years in a row we desperately need a good summer in 2009 - otherwise it's going to look increasingly grim for a wealth of wildlife in the UK.

"Climate change is not some future prediction of what might happen. It's happening now and having a serious impact on our countryside every year."

...The bees were badly hit by snow and frost in April.

Heavy rain during mid-May meant hard times for early-summer insects, which in turn meant many blue tit and great tit nests failed. In June, coastal birds such as choughs, kittiwakes and razorbills bred late and reared few young. In July, puffin numbers on the Farne Islands were down 35% in five years.

There was some joy for fans of the picnic as - if they could stand the cold and wet - they were not badly troubled by wasps.
