How has this weather affected your wildlife?

I've noticed that it's all gone rather quiet. I'm not seeing many birds in the garden, the masses of butterflies are gone too. The field of grain behind us seems to have been cut 3 weeks earlier this year but we haven't seen any birds of prey after the dislodged mice.
Any one else noticing similar?

The buzzards seem to have got young, too. And the green woodpecker, normally silent and keeping out of sight is making quite a din today. Maybe because the ants are flying.
Loads of cabbage whites, which is OK because I don’t grow brassicas, Quite a few peacocks and red admirals. And a lot of little brown jobs in various sizes. Thousands of bumblebees all fighting over the lavender and catnip.
No, a very good year here.
Plenty of goldfinches and blackbirds, and I saw a mistle thrush yesterday, which I haven't done for years. I also saw a sparrowhawk just miss one the blackbirds. The magpies have gone very quiet though recently.
