A field in north Essex has been covered in tens of thousands of red poppies as the summer weather continues. Poppies and other wildflowers are important for pollinating insects, but there have been new warnings about the decline of flying insects. Bugs Matter says they have declined by over 70% in less than 20 years. Âé¶¹Éç Essex speaks to Paul Hetherington from Buglife.
