8th September |
Path through high coniferous forestry.
Bright sunshine. |
The Red Bartsia (left) is a semi-parasitic plant that feeds off the roots of other plants. The Common Centaury (right) is a bit later in flowering locally this year, but is now enjoying the sunshine.
|
This little (4 cm. tall) Waxcap was showing well in the sunlight. Hygrocybe conica. |
There were many of these Common Darter Dragonflies around today. Male on the left and female on the right.
|
The shaded part of the forestry edge was still damp with dew. It shows just how many spiders webs there are.
The seedhead of the Autumn Hawkbit is very like a Dandelion head, but is more angular and generally less white. About 2 cm across. |
