DJS (SEWBReC) might have more records than shown above.
I'm sure someone might do the micros!
Interesting. I've never seen Vine's Rustic.
ReplyDeleteMark - I'll swap you one for a Grey Chi!
Delete2015 (11 recs) has been the best year for VR in my garden since 2010 (13 recs).
ReplyDeletePS. The data map shows that VR is very scarce north of the M4 corridor.
ReplyDeleteIf I can find another reliable Grey Chi site (The old one is now out of bounds, as I found on NMN), perhaps we could have an informal GMRG session there. I guess Penmoelallt would be a good bet, though out of the county. I'll work on it. Meanwhile, I will have to descend to the lowlands more often.
