Ivy Blossom at Lavernock Point this evening: L-album Wainscot (5), Large Wainscot, Brick, Sallow, Silver Y (5), Rusty-dot Pearl (5) & Acleris rhombana among a total of 14 species. The wainscots are both new for ST16 I think.
George, I was at Lavernock on 27th [am] and thought the ivy looked. Good find. I think that L-album Wainscot has undergone a massive expansion in VC41 and has proved to be a very good colonizer, expanding quickly from its south Gower base. However a Cardiff specimen was surprise. Mike & I will check out our VofG ivy during the next couple of weeks, especially if this weather holds.

ReplyDeleteA lot of the ivy flowers were yet to open, so should be good for a while yet.
