13th July |
A hedgerow leading off to the east from the original hedgerow.
Cloudy, but bright. |
Emboldened by yesterday's Male Fern identification, I decided to try my hand at a few others. Maybe not a wise choice. Male Fern on the left and Scaly Male Fern on the right.
|
Now the tricky one. This is the Lady Fern, top and underside.
|
Not too many problems with the Bracken.
|
This Lactarius deterrimus stained everything bright orange. Cap 12 cm across.
|
I've been trying to get a half-decent image of this Common Blue Damsel. This will nearly do.
|
The Greater Plantain often grows on paths and gets trodden on. This one on the left was in good condition. On the right, the Pale Persicaria - a lover of disturbed soil.
|
The second brood of Speckled Wood butterflies has been obvious for about 10 days. This one was slow enough for a quick snap. I had to follow it for about 3 minutes before I got this shot. |
