Plant News plus Fungi (Tuesday, July 14, 2020 - 20:05)
The trouble with finding Hieracium silvaticoides (Wood Hawkweed) is that it casts into doubt earlier records in the vice-county for the very similar H. duriceps (Hard-headed Hawkweed). One of these...
More Moths (Tuesday, July 14, 2020 - 17:55)
My most recent moth trap didn’t yield anything new, though there were some that were new for the year and that I always like to see, such as this Burnished Brass. Burnished Brass One evening I...
Hawkweeds of Raasay (Friday, July 10, 2020 - 21:26)
I collected thirty specimens of Hieracium from Raasay between 11th June and 1st July and sent them to David McCosh who found eight species: H. anglicum (English Hawkweed) 3 sites H. hebridense (...
Catch-up Time (Tuesday, July 7, 2020 - 20:31)
So, where to start? I can report that Epipactis atrorubens (Dark-red Helleborine) is now in flower on Raasay. Epipactis atrorubens (Dark-red Helleborine) and that not far away, in the world of micro-...
Moth News (Sunday, June 28, 2020 - 16:38)
At Brochel I came across two micro-moths of interest. The first is a Bactra sp. that I have sent off for dissection as there is a chance that it is Bactra lacteana which would be exciting this far...
Plant News (Sunday, June 28, 2020 - 15:48)
For obvious reasons, plant records have been a bit thin on the ground this year. As well as things already reported here, Neil has found quite a few new tetrad records and a very pleasing new 10 km...
Miners and Rollers (Sunday, June 28, 2020 - 14:58)
One of the Brassica plants in the polytunnel had a leaf mine: Using the key at the excellent website Plant Parasites of Europe I found it to be the larva of the Large Striped Flea Beetle that had...
Druim an Aonaich Again (Monday, June 22, 2020 - 11:03)
There was so much more than orchids last Thursday. But firstly, a Frog Orchid Coeloglossum viride (Frog Orchid) and secondly, Holly-fern Polystichum lonchitis (Holly-fern) Insects included several...
Orchids (Saturday, June 20, 2020 - 14:12)
A couple of days ago I drove 4 miles to Brae and then walked across the island to Druim an Aonaich, perhaps my favourite place on Raasay. There were plenty of orchids in flower: Coeloglossum viride (...
In the Garden 16th June 2020 (Tuesday, June 16, 2020 - 14:46)
I had planned another Hawkweeed expedition today as even at 9 am this morning XC Weather showed no rain all day. So far (13.30) it has rained all day, quite heavily at times. I will try again in a...
