N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

Jephavn? I think this is in Denmark, but cannot find it. However Hayes / Bloxam do not have any other foreign species for the Jun-Aug period this year & none from Denmark!

Could it be Lake in the Jephson gardens (Leamington Spa)?

The OS site is down pro tem but the gardens are near the Pump Room.

You are right of course - the simplest explanation is always the right one - and in their usual area. Perhaps I should take the waters there?
