Dalgety Bay - eight legs good

Ticking along here on a slow burn. Last year I had a poor total of 29 spiders, so this is the one that equals that - a beautiful Scotophaeus blackwalli that I found on a windowsill in the house. It's fully 2mm longer than book range but epigyne checks out fine.

Nice to get into the saltmarsh a bit and find some saltmarsh things tht I was really hoping for. It's really no more than a tiny fringe of the bay, but enough for Saltmarsh Rush (J.gerardii) and Greater Sea Spurrey to be happy there.

My first big distraction of June is out of the way (an off-square bioblitz with one new lifer hoverfly) and the other one is forthcoming. Now what was that again ...
