@fowp Frustrated to not get in the Hall gardens again, but was able to add a few more galls. Aceria ilicis on Holm Oak leaves accessible from outside. Also on Beech Hartigiola annulipes and Aceria nervisequa. On Alder, by the lake, the vein gall Eriophyes inangualis.

Little patches of chestnut brown hairs, caused by the gall mite Aceria ilicis, on the underside of a Holm Oak leaf. The leaf is a pale grey-green.
The upperside of an Alder leaf showing prominent pairs of bumps either side of the midrib (caused by a gall mite Eriophyes inangualis). Other bumps on the leaf are caused by a different mite.
A Beech leaf with raised bumps, caused by the gall mite Aceria nervisequa.
A Beech leaf with prominent yellow-red hairy projections, about 3-4 mm tall, mainly close to the midrib. These are falls of the midge Hartigiola annulipes.
