More from Steeple Woods.

 

Mostly solid rain, with a couple of sunny intervals.

 

First a few more mines. This is Stigmella aurella, which is very common here. The adult moth is very brightly coloured with a gold metallic band across the wings.

 

And two shots of Stigmella betulicola on a Birch leaf.

    

I've stared and stared at this Chromatomyia aprilina mine on Honeysuckle, but I can't quite work out if it's one mine or many mines radiating from a central spot. Multiples, I think.

 

The Birch also had this tiny (1 cm.) caterpillar on a leaf. No id, yet.

 

Three galls on oak, all vacated, as you can see.

 

And there's the first ripe Bramble that I've seen this year.
