Hi, can someone please confirm that this is indeed blight? It seems to have infected my first earlies. I thought Blight typically caused an issue later in the season but i guess i've got that wrong :-(

    Lifted from the R.H.S website (Early blight is a different disease that is found widely in North America, and is commonly reported on the internet. This fungal disease of potatoes is caused by Alternaria solani and A. alternata. It is not a common problem in British gardens, but can be confused with the symptoms caused by the much more common magnesium deficiency)
