4th April |
High deforestation, between rain showers.
The first Swallows arrived, today. That's 9 days earlier than last year. Wet with bright intervals. |
Another Cladonia that grows in moss. I'm not sure if the red-tipped fruiting bodies get any larger than shown. I'll need to check back later. C. polydactyla is in the running.
The moss is Dicranum scoparium. |
This moss - Philonotis fontana - grows on bits of turf that break the surface of the stream. It clearly likes a sodden base to grow on. Individual branches about 3 cm. tall. |
