A quick visit to Lady Amherst's Drive in Goathurst Common this afternoon, parking in the small car park by the cross roads.
In a very brief moment or two I had a look at a few of the young Beech trees in among the sweet Chestnuts, and found Stigmella tityrella and Stigmella hemargyrella. There were also a couple of Phyllonorycter maestingella and one really old but possible Phyllonorycter messaniella.
I thought I might have found a couple of Parornix fagivora, but in the end I couldn't be sure - possibly just a couple of S. hemargyrella mines on the edge of the leaf.
A few "bump" galls as well.
The site is definitely worth another look though!
