| Not recorded
in the UK until 2001, but now established in many
south-eastern counties. Southern Oak Bush Cricket is
currently still rare in Nottinghamshire with only a
handful of records, all of which have so far come from
the south-west of the county. One in a Bilborough on
09/09/07 (Hall, A.), was Nottinghamshire's first ever and the
UK's most northerly record at the time. We are aware of no other
records until examples found by Tim Sexton at Nottingham
University (Highfields) on 02/10/17 and Attenborough
NR on 10/10/17. There is a recent record from a West Bridgford garden in
October 2019 (Freestone, R.). Our thanks go to Tim Sexton for providing
us with the photographs below. |
