We're all the same these days, trying to increase our lists by making things up, and just generally playing a dirty game! ;-) <br /><br />I must say I did go on the element of probability with the Holly Leaf Miner- out of the hundreds of mines present, one of the bloody things must have been occupied! <br /><br />Here's to a few warm days/nights in the not too distant future.<br /><br />BillBilly Dykeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840933193238325733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1281052059221698775.post-52040234790536313792013-03-26T20:13:11.605+00:002013-03-26T20:13:11.605+00:00So, speaking as the bloke with a mad total of 341 ...So, speaking as the bloke with a mad total of 341 already (although it's climbed a bit since then) are you SERIOUSLY gonna count the Holly Leaf Miner from just the blotch?
