Looked at some other leaves for leaf miners today, but also got a snap (with flash) of Phyllonorycter esperella on the upperside of a Hornbeam leaf, just starting to pull the leaf up as it tightens.
Dene Park, 26.09.2017
I also saw a mine possibly created by Parornix carpinella, which would make it a new mine for me!
I had a quick look at a few Beech leaves, and spotted an old friend, Stigmella tityrella, which I have seen both at Dene Park, and also at Bod Petrual near Ruthin. Not a very good photo I am afraid! Notice the browning to the side of the mine itself.
