26th October |
Approach to new bridge over the River Finn on the way to Drumboe.
Showers for much of the day. |
Recently-disturbed soil is often interesting. I found this Sun Spurge - Euphorbia
helioscopia - in an area where I hadn't seen it before. In fact the
species is new to the site. I hadn't even noticed that it hadn't appeared
before. The photographs show: Fruit, male flowers and the plant habit.

My attention was drawn to this budding Rhododendron by a casual observer. Everyone is commenting on odd flowerings and strange weather. |
My local Knapweed is long past flowering, but there were several flowering specimens by the river. |
And the Ash is wasting no time preparing for next year. This bud is still associated with a green leaf. |
And the Smooth Hawksbeard - Crepis capillaris - is making its second push. This should last for a couple of months, yet.
