The North

For the purposes of this blog, the north means  habitats north of Fermyn forest.

1. Cotgrave Forest, south Nottinghamshire, is the best habitat so far, with 6 individuals recorded for several days running.

2. Private wood east of Clumber Park, 2 specimens

3. South Derbyshire, several specimens seen in the last week. Obviously establishing in this area of the National Forest.

4. Wellow wood, Nottinghamshire. Several seen in the last week, including 3 in a nearby pig farm

5. Sherwood forest: just one so far, near the Major Oak.

6. Hardwick hall herb garden: one seen, unexpectedly

7. Chambers Farm Wood Lincs. Numbers relatively modest so far.
