General comments:
Local resident - declining.

The map shows a worrying trend of range contraction towards the north; this is also reflected in the national situation, where losses are in the order of 77%. It follows the patterns of other species that are known to have declined as a consequence of climate changes.

Recorded in 31 (76%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1887.
Last Recorded in 2023.
