Another new species for our region

Yesterday Andy & Melissa Banthorpe discovered mines of Ectoedemia hannoverella on black poplar by the River Ouse near Olney, Bucks which is a first for our three counties.  The moth has been spreading very slowly westwards from East Anglia since its discovery in Suffolk in 2002.  A page for the species (and some photos of the mine) have now been added to our on-line Atlas.
