    I will have to watch out for any of these in Hugset Wood. Just shows what's still waiting to be discovered.
    Good stuff John

    Another first for you John. I'll keep a lookout for it, now I know what to look for.

    Hi Alwyn, looking around Blackthorn might be the best bet at the moment.

    Hi John,

    I was watching one of these on Haw Park Lane, Wintersett this afternoon.
    Only managed to get a poor record shot.

    Probably a first for Wakefield, then!
