Have you twigged yet?

Whilst the images in this post might not be much to write home about, I was very pleased to find this as it was a new species for me.  This moth is rather scarce but is surely under-recorded.

Lampronia fuscatella - gall on Birch Lampronia fuscatella - opened gall on Birch Lampronia fuscatella - gall on Birch

This was on the first branch I looked closely at and was the only one I found despite searching for a further 15 mins or so, in the pouring rain at Elhampark Woods, East Kent.
