A Bit Rusty

You'd think I'd been nowhere, stuck at home seeing nothing. Well actually I have, I've just not made time been arsed to blog about it. The only day I didn't go anywhere was Saturday when a bout of electrical DIY on some kitchen lighting took longer than I anticipated.

On Thursday I had a walk along another stretch of disused railway line, this one at Crow Mills Way between Countesthorpe and South Wigston ....

On Friday afternoon I had a walk around Beacon Hill over in the Charnwood area ....

And yesterday I had a walk around Fosse Meadows, but I didn't bother with any shots from there as it was a brief visit between chores and televised football lacking soul.

On all three walks I was primarily focussed on leaf mines, and found a decent number of species but (as yet) nothing new identified. I also found a few galls, and a few rusts / micro-fungi that as yet I've either ignored or drawn a blank. I am sure that all of these will be common and should/could be named, but .... I can feel a copy of this coming on ....

Here are a few that are in a pending file ....

On Ulmus sp.
