Crofty update

male Fossombronia incurva
I spent about an hour on Christmas Eve exploring the abandoned Crofty building plot and recorded Cephaloziella integerrima on a total 12 of the post hole tumps, a few small patches on some of the adjacent banks, plus some reasonable patches on the abandoned footings themselves. The list of direct associates (i.e species within 10cm) below included Fossombronia incurva, this being just the second county record.
