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.

Horse Chestnut Leaf Miner
I'm sad to say that I think the Horse Chestnut Leaf Miner has come to Normanby Park - I took these images this morning and compared them to the following images found at http://www.forestry.gov.uk/pdf/Horsechestnut.pdf/$FILE/Horsechestnut.pdf - see what you think. The only doubt in my mind is that we haven't had any of these moths in our moth trap or so I think - I'll scrutinise more carefully though the next time we have the light on.
