Interesting, Joanie. I saw may first bumblebee on Wednesday and my first honeybee yesterday. For once we're not lagging behind a week or two in Aberdeen!

Thank you, Juliet. I'm glad you enjoyed the talk. Lots of local archaeology. We're part of such an interesting landscape!

Thank you. I'm glad you found the talk interesting. I told SWT that I'm always interested to help groups with guided walks or some community lichen or bryophyte recording project, in case you're interested.

Top left: possibly Lecanora intumescens at the eastern edge of its range. Note the black dots that are fungi that parasitise lichens.
Top right: Ramalina fraxinea, on the Scottish Biodiversity List, but common in NE Scotland.
