Dalgety Bay, Fife - Fossombronia pusilla
Found one of my favourite liverworts yesterday in NT1683 (349 spp.). Not in my 1km square but hopefully can inspire Seth to get that last 20-odd species sorted out ;)

Dalgety Bay, Fife - a few additions
Keeping the ball slowly rolling I've been picking up bits of this and that.
A Cladonia found on the edge of a lawn turned out to be C.chlorophaea. Suspected Phaonia pallida from a water trap in Bathing House Wood was confirmed by its underwing setae, and a couple of female Anthomyia turned out to be festiva. All these were preceded by a Field Blewit which was found in the grassy triangle behind Lumsdaine Drive.
Waxwings still not here and no sign of the Hawfinch invasion here yet, though I haven't been out much in the mornings due to other commitments. You never know!
