I thought the same, another local extinction, then after a no show for several years i found 1 in Sept 2010, back from the dead! Last year 2011 no sign again so not looking good i think for this species locally! Maybe loss of nest sites or something more sinister, farmland pesticide build up? I remember finding a dead adult in a nest box we monitored in Worcs back in the 1990's no obvious cause, i wonder whats going on with them?Craig Roundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05784013790524821848noreply@blogger.com
