1st January |
Two places visited, today: The original Hedgerow and the river Deele.
No Herons spotted, but I did get a very unseasonal Umbellifer that looks like Hogweed. Time will tell.

These are seedlings of the Goosegrass. They're just beginning to appear in most hedgerows and verges around here. |
This nice example of Rustyback was growing on the wall. The brown back to the leaflets can be seen at the top of the picture. |
Here's another picture of the Cladonia. I do like the trumpet-shaped spore-bearing structures. They're about 3mm across. This is Cladonia pyxidata - the Speckled Pixie Cup. |
This is the flower head I spotted by the river. The leaf to the right suggests Hogweed. It looks like the flowers will be open in a few days or so. |
I struggled last year to get a decent image of the Yarrow leaves. This one isn't bad. The Bramble looks interesting, too. |
