1st July |
Coastal grassland, in preparation for a photography course next week.
1 x Ringlet. Dull and humid but warm. |
On the approach road I saw a batch of Polyporus squamosus - Dryads Saddle - on a felled tree trunk. The specimen on the left is little short of a metre wide. I had to cross to the other side of the road in order to get it all into the frame. On the right is a much smaller specimen, around 20 cm. across, and holding water.

This is where the Ringlet gets its name from. |
The Sea Campion - Silene uniflora - had clearly been in flower for some time, but there are plenty of buds left for next week.
The second specimen would make a fine model for one of those Art Nouveau glass vases. Maybe it did. |
Sea level specimens are still well ahead of our local ones. Our Bramble flowers are just opening. |
This attractive little (2 cm.) Sawfly larva was working its way down a blade of grass. |
This Common Garden Spider caught my eye. About 15 mm long. |
Fruits of the Cuckoo Pint have just started to ripen. |
Two pink-flowered plants: Yarrow - Achillea milleflorium - and Hoary Willowherb - Epilobium parviflorum.
|
Maybe this Wild Carrot will be open next week. |
