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!

Good work buddy! I'm still 37 species short of the big number and struggling. May end up having to look at another moss or two, meh.
ReplyDeleteYou don't have a bunch of flies/beetles on sticks? No doubt there's plenty left in the bryo/lichen tank but it's slim pickings now. Would be a shame to finish this close.
