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

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.

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!

An intractable legal ownership question has prevented #ScottishWildlifeTrust conservation activity at the Black Devon site for decades. At first this feels sad, but perhaps #Nature has been managing fine by herself. #Rewilding #Environment #Ecocentrism

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

Follow up on last night's talk 2/3. The blog post reflecting on some of the lichens I found on hillfort at the Barmekin of Echt. Upland species in a lowland setting and the exchange of species between similar hilltops nearby. #scottishlichens #lichens #nature #archaeology #scottishwildlifetrust
A commanding view: hillforts through the lens of lichens and bryophytes
