11th February |
Lough Erne, Co. Fermanagh.
Cold but dry. |
A few plants are now showing leaves. This is Cuckoo Pint - Arum maculatum. Also known as Lords-and-Ladies. |
And a few Bluebells are making leaves, too. |
This was a bit more of a surprise, though. An Elder in full leaf. This small bush had been cut to the ground last year and the resulting new growth survived the winter, giving it a head start. The 'normal' growth is just reaching the unfurling stage.
|
This moss was very common under the trees, but I haven't identified it yet.
