Same. It’s really noticeable this year. 
Usually the light going through the back door means it’s plastered in moths and insects. This year I’ve not seen a single moth. We also usually see a shedload of bats, they circuit the house hoovering up free dindins and this year so far we’ve seen none 🥺

I can agree with number of bats.....when we moved here 8 years ago or so there would be many circling the trees at the bottom of our garden,  last night just 2.

House sparrows are in very limited numbers too, but bleeding Magpies, lots of them.

As I said, we've got them all! 😂😂😂😂

Housemartins and Swifts hoovering them up during the day and the bats taking the evening and night shifts.
