Another busy day, so no walks or sightings to mention, though I did come across a Landhopper (Arcitalitrus dorrieni) in the back garden. It is also known as Woodhopper or Lawn Shrimp and is an amphipod of the family Talitridae, which is a group usually associated with seashore habitats rather than inland ones.
It is of Australian origin with the first UK record being from the Scilly Isles in 1924. Since then, it has been found in a number of sites across southern England, and also in Ireland, the Channel Isles, west Wales and western Scotland. Individuals can move tens of metres per day as well as being moved over longer distances by the plant trade etc.
