Highest local point.
Sunny and hot, with a little rain later. |
I took this shot of Fairy Flax just for practice. It's a very difficult species to focus on. |
Square-Stalked St. John's Wort has petals that unfurl longditudinally, making them appear very narrow at first.

The second of the two Woundworts on the patch - Marsh Woundwort - Stachys palustris. |
I managed a shot of this Episyrphus balteatus coming in to land on Marsh Thistle. |
False Salmonberry was introduced into Northern Ireland as cover for game birds. It has now spread to Co. Donegal where it is increasing dramatically. I've found it in half a dozen places this year. It is seriously invasive. |
I think this is a Sedge Warbler that was shrieking whilst hiding in a Willow.
