20th April |
Original Hedgerow, leg 1.
Dull with bright sun later. |
This is Sticky Mouse-ear - Cerastium glomeratum. It has a generally sickly yellow-green appearance. I've rarely seen the flowers open much more than this. |
Ivy-leaved Water Crowfoot - Ranunculus hederacea - grows in muddy places. This is a rut in the entrance to a field. |
Two shots of a rust growing on the leaves of Nipplewort - Lapsana communis.
|
And another rust - Puccinia urticata - on a nettle leaf. I'm making a point of looking for rusts on as many species as possible this year. |
Two more shots of emerging ferns. This time it's Common Polypody - Polypodium vulgare.
|
And this is Rustyback - Ceterach officinarum. |
Lastly a Coal Tit...This Hawthorn was full of them 'peep'ing at each other. |
