Heliozela hammoniella

    Birch Lift

    HeliozelidaeABH 6.005 B&F 157

    A birch-feeding species, and unsurprisingly strongly associated with areas where birch occurs naturally - the western uplands and the surviving carr vegetation on the Levels around Shapwick Heath.  It has also been found at Leigh Woods and Asham Wood where birch scrub has established itself on areas of old limestone quarry workings.
