Local farmland on an archaeological trip.
1 x Green-veined White.
Sunny and hot.
The first Bog Violets of
the year. They were only 2m from Dog Violets,which were growing in the
grass, but in the slightly drier margin of the field.
A couple of Frogs. On the left, fully grown and a 2-year-old on the right.
And a Frog tadpole growing in a tiny puddle in a stony outcrop which bears Neolithic carvings.
I've seen this tiny red moss in a couple of places, but no id as yet.
This ancient Hawthorn is broken wide open, but it is still producing new leaves.
I've been looking for archegonia - the female reproductive part of this Polytrichum moss. I think this might be it.
