Dene Park, slightly drier


A nice slow walk around Dene Park today, on the slightly longer loop along the Bridleway.

Nice to see a leafminer on a leaf of Lesser Spearwort, Ranunculus flammula. I only found one, without a proper look. It should have been one of the fly leafminers, perhaps Phytomyza ranunculi or Phytomyza ranunculivora. I think it is the former, as this has already been recorded on this species in the UK. The latter species by contrast has its frass spots separated significantly more widely.
