SP5595ish

Managed to grab an hour in the square this afternoon, and just a few minutes in the garden yesterday, amidst an otherwise busy and constrained weekend. Even then it was hard to get enthusiastic with the chill and odd pathetic snow flurry. Seems that every log, brick and stone I turn is devoid of interesting inverts - really looking forward to some warmth and the inevitable upturn in insect life. Aside from a new springtail and a millipede, I've named a few recogniseable plants and added a few trees (amazing how easy it is to inadvertently ignore big things), but mainly got looking hard at various concrete posts and walls for different lichens.
