This year I seem to be doing much better on Micros. There are probably 2 reasons for this: 1) I'm looking out for them with much more scrutiny compared to last year. 2) The kids are out netting the hedge when they get home from school and have unearthed a fair few extra species.

Some nice micros there Matt - I find it quite addictive but frustrating at times when they're not identifiable for whatever reason !
ReplyDelete...I'm not too keen on slicing and dicing. But I have made exceptions this year. Could be the thin end of the wedge! Mr. Manning helps out quite a lot too.
