These photos were taken from a small section of hedgerow at Wrenbury on 8th July 2018.
The leaf underside, showing the pale brown blotch at the tissue-feeding stage, as well as the turned down leaf edge, having left the mine.

Re: A few leaf mines
'My' hazel trees aren't producing much at all this year, just odd ones and twos of things...there was an early flush of coryli but almost nothing since.
Still spending time looking for paradoxa too, but with no joy up to yet.
Cheers,
Steve

Stigmella paradoxa is very local in Cheshire. It may not be in your area.
