More leaf mines

Went out yesterday afternoon to look for possible yellow-browed warblers in an area close to my home at Pwll - the wet carr, wetlands and deciduous plantings just east of Ashpits Pond, Burry Port
(a former power station settling lagoon that has been landscaped to form a wildlife-rich water body). This area extends eastwards to form another area of wet willow/birch carr (2nd photo below, with royal and hard ferns etc) and open reedbed/fen at `Pwll Lagoon`, which lies immediately below my house and is the probable source of many wetland moths recorded in my home trap at Tyrwaun.

There was -obviously - little chance of finding a yellow-browed warbler `cold` as it were and, indeed, I failed, with only a distant `hoeet` suggesting any leaf warblers present. I did stumble across a comma caterpillar on a nettle patch though, a distinctive and easy-to-identify species.

I also noted various leaf-mines or miscellaneous larval damage on some of the trees planted in the area such as on Salix purpurea, Corylus sp. and Alnus incanus.

I don`t expect anyone to identify the above, but if they want to try, all are welcome. I`ve looked at the online identification resources and often it is n`t straightforward! For the Alnus, for example, it MAY be the hymenopteran Fenusa dohrnii or the lepidopteran Phyllonrycter strigulatella....but I`m not all confident!
I also had the `home actinic` out last night, but only the `autumn regulars` were caught.
