Photographs were taken very near mid-day: not a good time for plant photography due to the overstrong sunlight. This isn't normally a problem in Co. Donegal.
Sunny and hot.
The Catsear flowers have gone to seed: it must be time for Autumn Hawkbit to take over. The direct sequence between these two species cannot be coincidental. When they appear in the same habitat, the Catsear disappears for a while and then returns in September when the Autumn Hawkbit is finished. Many spring flowers do that, so maybe the Autumn Hawkbit is an opportunist, filling in the void.
A single Dandelion seed still attached to the seedhead. This is nature's way of creating mutations. This seed might well have a 'lateness' gene. Humans have capitalised on this property by selective breeding, resulting in 'early peas' or 'late potatoes'.
This fuzzy bolete was growing out of a vertical earth-bank. Bruises blue. Xerocomus lanatus, I think.
A Sawfly leaf-miner on Oak. Profenusa pygmaea.
The Wood Sage is in bud and these flowers will be open next week.
