8th February |
Another visit to the original hedgerow today. |
Some of this year's seedlings are becoming recognisable, now. On the left, Bush Vetch, and Nettle on the right
I just spotted the Cow Parsley leaves below the Vetch. |
This moss grows on the rocks of the old drystone wall that runs for about 300 metres, here. This specimen is about 3 cm across. The lichen might be Aspicilia calcarea. Moss perhaps Schistidium apocarpum |
This Lesser Celandine was facing into the stream, so I got my left foot wet. |
At last, some colour for this year. The Yellow Brain Fungus (Tremella mesenterica) grows on dead wood - Ash in this case. A sharp-eyed commentator has also noticed the Opegrapha (dark green patches of lichen) beside the fungus. |
Two more images from the wall: Navelwort on the left and the spore capsules of another moss on the right.
