Following Dave's new county record of Antispila treitschkiella yesterday, I had another one today with several cases of Coleophora fuscocuprella found on young hazel on Old Castle Down.

Excellent stuff George. I presume you spotted the Parornix devoniella mine on that leaf too?
ReplyDeleteWell I had but I wasn't sure that was what it was - will record that too, thanks.
ReplyDeleteVery well spotted George.
