A lucky find of Grey Shoulder-knot
On 4th April I spent an hour examining a fallen Ash at Cwrt Henri for lichens (lots of Candelaria concolor; 2nd Carms record). To my surprise I found a Grey Shoulder-knot resting on a lichen-covered branch. This appears to be the first record of this uncommon species for SN52, though Ali Heath/Baird might have caught one while she was based in the hectad (I've only partly uploaded her data).

Nice one Sam! I`ve never seen/caught a grey shoulder-knot here on the coast, so I`m jealous!
ReplyDeleteI may now take up lichens....
