Incessant rain with late respite.
Devilsbit Scabious leaves have appeared. It will be quite some time before the flowers put in an appearance.
Harestail Cotton-grass - Eriophorum vaginatum - is one of two Cotton Grasses in this locality. This has a single flower-head.
I was alerted to the presence of this Willow Beetle by the chewed leaves. Lochmaea capreae, about 8 mm long.
The first flowers of Lousewort - Pedicularis sylvatica. This is well-suited to the local damp environment, but I've only found it in a couple of ditches.
Two shots of Omphalina ericetorum. Cap about 1 cm. across.
