Don't know but I'd rather it be ladybirds than wasps there are more than ever of those too this year.

No ladybirds in Cromer, in Norfolk they are called Bishy Barny Bees Sorry can't help if there is a problem with them in Cromer at the moment!

We came back from Manor Farm last weekend (8th August) and there were still plenty of ladybirds about.  The news said it would probably last 6 weeks, but not sure if that is accurate.  Sheringham (4.5 miles) away was Ladybird free & well worth a visit if you haven't been before.  Great Yarmouth, further afield was also Ladybird free.  If you are worried, why not give Manor Farm a ring & ask them.

Thanks for that, Was Manor farm busy when you went?, we were there for a weekend before the summer holidays and it wasn't too busy liked it soo much are off there again on monday

We stayed in Wells-next-the-sea for the first 2 weeks of August. Went to Cromer first week and it was a nighmere with millions (yes millions) of ladybirds.

Got much better the 2nd week and local radio reporting from the Cromer Carnival said the masses had gone, only a few left. Wells was basically clear the 2nd week.

To say it was the 6 weeks holiday, it didn't seem too busy.  There were lots of people there but we didn''t feel hemmed in, there was still lots of space.  We too liked it so much we would like to go again but it's a bit too far for the weekend, that's why we went for the week, but would highly recommend it.  Hope you have a nice time.  Denise.
