Skye - brief update

Rapid update only, been out and about but haven't really seen very much that's different. Though I keep shying away from lots of stuff like lichens, bryophytes, algae, beetles etc. Need to pull me finger out! 

Recent additions -

391 - Phytopus avellanae (arachnid - a mite that causes "big bud" on Hazel)


392 - Marsh Thistle (plant)
393 - Entyloma ficariae (fungus on Lesser Celandine)
394 - Uromyces dactylidis (fungus on Lesser Celandine) - Lifer 


395 - Leuctra hippopus (stonefly) - Lifer
396 - Protonemura meyeri (stonefly) - Lifer
397 - Milesina scolopendrii (microfungus on browned parts of Hart's Tongue) - Lifer
398 - Milesina blechni (microfungus on browned parts of Hard-fern) - Lifer


399 - Ganoderma australe (fungus)

Still got masses of stuff in pots including a swanky looking pair of Stenus that I don't have the key for and lots of bryophytes from weeks and weeks and weeks ago. I ought to either bin 'em or do 'em. Can't keep on ignoring them like this haha! Will I really hit 400 without seeing a single bee or Holly Leafminer? Bizarre.
