Horse Chestnut Leaf Miner

Well it’s back in the Park again but doesn’t seem quite so advanced as last year - if you look at the images taken last year http://normanbynature.blogspot.com/2010/07/trees-in-park.html which were 3 weeks earlier than today I’m sure the damage is not as great.  Last year the whole tree just looked brown where as you can see from the image I took this morning the trees still look pretty healthy - fingers crossed someone will find a way to deal with this intrusive non-native species which by the way is a little micro moth which I still have yet to see.
