Largely disappointing results to MV trap so far this year eg only 36 of 17 spp on 8.5.26 (close to being outnumbered by Maybugs). Good to see first hawk moths and my favourite twig moth 😊
Finished on a high at over 900m on Ben Lomond (2/2)
And now for some quality pics courtesy of Neil Bell from Stob a’Choin; Bartramia halleriana, Plagiopus oederianus, Herbertus hutchinsiae & Racomitrium ellipticum
Mustn’t leave my TG6 at home next time. Flora’s Daltonia possibly the find of the week and a new VC record. Cynodontium jenneri was a nice find on Ben Ledi, Aneura mirabilis more exciting than it looks and I’ve never seen so much Blindia acuta. @bbsbryology.bsky.social
The brilliant Trossachs meeting organisers Philippa and Gordon @bsbibotany.bsky.social
Just back from Trossachs bryology meeting. From Flanders Moss to the heights of Ben Lomond there was something for everyone. An historic meeting too; we transferred from British Bryological Society (BBS) to the British and Irish Bryological Society (BIBS) on the 21st April. @bbsbryology.bsky.social
Yes - like when local MP had a meeting to talk about improving flood defences when attending this national emergency briefing should have the priority for that day - it’s all here, eloquently communicated by experts, no agenda except desire for a healthy planet www.nebriefing.org
Great Glos bryology group meeting last Sunday at the Hudnalls NR on challenging slippery slopes above the Wye. Over 100spp - thanks to Sharon for the report www.britishbryologicalsociety.org.uk/event/glouce... and an awful lot of the ids! @pilkyplant.bsky.social @bbsbryology.bsky.social
Interesting and educational post. Thank you Sharon 💚
Beautifully captured as always 💚

National Emergency Briefing | The UK’s leading climate and nature experts brief MP's on the risks, impacts and solutions to the climate emergency
Just mind-boggling that climate breakdown isn't even mentioned in this piece
Despite the fact that it is driving more powerful storms, higher sea level, bigger waves and more intense rainfall
People - apparently even the reporting journalist - still don't get it
