Dalgety Bay - a following wind

Super windy today but an email about lichen records in Scotland inspired me to go out and get some done, including a few new additions - nothing really unexpected but it was nice nonetheless. In sheltered spots there was a lot of dipteran action and any roadside buttercups were occupied, mostly by Melanostoma hovers.
