... but some of us are looking at the gutter" as Oscar Wilde said. Or something like that.
Amazingly, additional bryophytes continue to get on the list, and the arrival of a bit of spring weather has also brought out all manner of creeping and green things. I'll be at 600 before there are leaves on the trees, which is amazing. Probably tomorrow at this rate.

An ant! Haven't seen one of those this year yet. Another few days of cold haar down here at the moment, so still suffering from severe lack of warmth. Looking forward to a masterclass on Bryology in due course...
ReplyDeleteDamned cold up here this morning. Moth trap all but empty. All this haar still hasn't brought more than Kittiwakes and larger auks either, although I've got no complaints on the bird front. I'd expect you'll see over 50 species of bryophytes and if things go to plan maybe a whole bunch more.
