The approach to the forestry, again, today. |
First of all, the view North. The new plantation is all to the right. The trees on the left (mixed conifers and willows) are a boundary marker. A stream runs alongside. The Spruce plantation to the right is very boggy, with lots of mosses and lichens. |
This moss is very common in this area. The capsules are quite distinctive. The very fine leaves often have a blue/green sheen. Polytrichum, perhaps formosum.

The Alder catkins are nicely pink at the moment. |
These are flowers of the Scots Pine. Female flowers, I think. |
