In the end it didn't have much to do with psyllids but the title was stuck in my head. After a second failed attempt on the Aepus I managed at the third time of asking - on the 2nd attempt pooted one only to find the pooter open and empty when I returned home! I haven't actually figured out which of the below is a lifer yet, but there are some for sure.
It's all been going so fast recently that I'll just ride the wave and see whether I feel up to a final assault on the 1407. It feels like I probably should. I'm way, way ahead of where I thought I'd be by end of September and there's still a week to go!

Brilliant title, works much better than 'really tiny carabid bang'! Who you kiddin' anyway, if you don't smash 1500 you have to do it all again next year....oh, but you already are :D
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 1300, buddy. Awesome stuff.
Ta. I'm already working on next year. After two years "away" from my local reserve I visited it for brambles on Saturday (adding Tachina fera to the reserve list) and felt a tingle of anticipation.
DeleteA worm! Seem to be some on these in my soil, but fear not, they're not on my list. And lots of harvetmen too, but somehow many of these are missing. What's the answer, Doc?
DeleteThe seals have squashed the worms. I can't be doing with earthworms, but like marine ones. As for harvestmen - pick brambles! Or else beat the living bejessus out of some gorse
