Nineteenth century records are for Hitchin (Durrant, 1885); Haileybury (Bowyer, 1888), Cheshunt Marsh (Boyd, 1901) and Tring (Barraud, 1903) in Herts whilst Twickenham and Mill Hill are mentioned in a Middlesex list published in 1898. For the twentieth century, Foster (1937) lists Tring (undated), Watford (undated) and Berkhamsted (1921). Since then there are very few confirmed records.
