Blossom end rot ???

[Caro]

I'm sure I've come across the phrase "blossom end rot" on here and it seems to describe exactly what seems to be happening to a high proportion of my courgettes.

What can I do about it? It seems a shame to lose so many

Thanks

It's usually a term used to describe the brown and shrivelled end of a tomato and in that case is due to iffy watering.
In courgettes, it can be exacerbated by the damp end of the withering flower. Some years it worse than others. I find it helps a bit if you remove the flower as soon as it starts folding up.

definitely remove the flowers and most of them are fine then also make sure they arent touching the ground
