Ectoedemia heringella

While out surveying for Brown Hairstreak eggs on the Waddesdon Estate in mid-Bucks this afternoon I had a brief look at a couple of small holm oaks and, needless to say, they were absolutely covered in mines of Ectoedemia heringella.  It is not often that you can see more than 20 active leaf-mines of any species on just one leaf!
