A wee reminder that the Scottish Wildlife Trust are holding their Butterfly ID next Saturday.

Nice to find Cliostomum griffithii on rough bark at Balgavies Loch, a species I have not seen in a while. Rough barked trees has a very distinctive lichen flora that is well worth exploring.

A great morning of mosses, lichens, liverworts and fungi on our Fife & Kinross Local Group, Scottish Wildlife Trust event on the Tentsmuir dunes. Keep an eye on Eventbrite for our next event. #bryophytes #fife #Tentsmuir #mosses #lichens #liverworts #fungi #ScottishWildlifeTrust #sanddunes

An abundance of lichens today on our Scottish Wildlife Trust Bankhead Moss reserve. This one, I think, is Hypogymnia physodes, one of the Parmelia species #lichen #autumn #scottishwildlifetrust #bankheadmoss #Fife

Always nice to get a little bit of hedgehog before it gets dark.
First things first... have a good scratch as soon as when you get up!

Four photo collage, a bright, sunny, early summer day. Bright blue cloudless skies. A line of pale blue mist sitting out to sea on the horizon. Each photo shows green/grey high cliffs leading down to sparkling bright blue sea. Some dark grey rocks in the water. All photos except bottom left show bright pink thrift flowers on the edge of the path/cliffs. Bottom left is similar but in a cove with a beige stoney rough beach. All photos are taken from the clifftop footpath.

Today, Longhaven Cliffs💙 #walking #coastalwalking #buchancoastalpath #longhavencoastalnaturereserve #scottishwildlifetrust #longhaven #longhavencliffs #bullersobuchan #aberdeenshire #walkingaberdeenshire

This is the recording of the talk on the importance of archaeological and historical monuments for #lichens and #bryophytes I did for the #ScottishWildlifeTrust. Always happy to collaborate on this theme.

A commanding view: hillforts through the lens of lichens and bryophytes Looking from the hillfort at Barmekin of Echt to the hillfort at Mither Tap A ‘commanding view’ is the phrase the RCAHMS uses in their book In the Shadow of Bennachie to describe the hillforts of D…
