NT1887, Cullaloe LNR, Fife - here we go ...

Happy new year to all :)

So a fair old start to the year, with a good morning on 1st Jan and a few 1 hour sessions to do a basic cover of the reserve compartments. 200 came up on day one so got to be happy with that! Also a few additions to the reserve list which is a big part of the target this year. After two years on other locations I find myself coming refreshed to old ground and apparently with some new skills - always a relief. Some recon didn't hurt, either. Famous last words and all that but I should round out week 1 on over 300 tonight (300 now from photos and scribbled notes)

Bryophytes 1

Bryophytes 2

Bryophytes 3

There's no way I'm going to try to summarise the list so far so here's the numbers and one of my favourite odd beasts - the linyphiid Savignya frontata. Surreal! And very pleasingly one of three additions to the reserve's already quite decent spider list.

Edit: Gotta love iRecord when everything works. I think this may be a first county record for L.cineoroniger
