Hi @vc28wildlife.bsky.social , I photographed this Phyllonorycter mine on a narrow-leaved Willow back in June this year at Botley, Hampshire and would appreciate your thoughts regarding it possibly being pastorella. I'm hoping to return to the site soon to see if there are more...

Work today was brightened by a Sedge Warbler in full song from a tiny patch of manicured bushes outside an adjacent warehouse, a Chocolate-tip, an Eriocrania sangii mine and some Coleophora mines on Hornbeam (no case found though the smart money has to be on serratella). #teammoth

Does anyone know what these might be please? There are at least a dozen on an ornamental Acer in the garden. 1-2 mm in size, south Hampshire. A beetle larva perhaps? #nature #wildlife

29:15 in the garden last night. Acleris literana NFG. Also a Caloptilia that looks a decent candidate for honoratella...can these be done at all without the chop? Foxglove Pug felt early. S Hants VC11. #teammoth

Tried a new site for Bankesia conspurcatella this morning (admittedly only 2km from Warsash Common) and had 6 to HYL pheromone lure in 5 mins, so responsive! Flight time 06:30-08:45 on my experience and very end of Feb-very start of Apr. South Hants VC11 #teammoth
