I suspect that any reports of White-faced Darter at Rutland Water are totally erroneous as there have never ever, to the best of my knowledge, been confirmed reports of them anywhere in the county. They are currently only believed to exist at six sites in England - two in West Midlands and four in Cumbria. The habitat is totally wrong too - they're a sphagnum moss-bog species.

He managed to get the first one while we were in RSA in February. Ten days ago he was bitten here in France but we have no idea how, or when until it came up. Another course of antibiotics and 2x daily dressings. At last it is looking better, but still a nasty wound and he says still very painful. Sigh.
