Does anyone know whether the sallows have been cleared from the enclosure yet? Got the day off tomorrow and thought I might see if I could redistribute some larvae.

Hi Bill,

Not that you shouldn't try, but Robin and Pat Turner took a look and found zero larvae in 2 hours of searching.

Not sure what the current state of the cuttings is.

Cheers,

Hi Pete

Thanks for that, would seem a bit pointless then so you've saved me a couple of hours journey.

Cheers
