Another new micro #fungus for me. Is it possible to confirm this as Protomyces macrosporus on Oenanthe crocata leaves? Also from the #Stackpole Estate in #Pembrokeshire today.

New one for me, though probably quite common. I assume this is the rust #fungus Puccinia primulae on primrose Primula vulgaris at #Stackpole in #Pembrokeshire today.

I've been quiet recently, so here's a picture of Oedemera femoralis from my village in mid-Wales last month. It's a more locally distributed relative of the common metallic green swollen-thighed #beetle O. nobilis, and is an impressive beast to find at the end of Nov.

What I'm currently reading, about #maps.

I happened across it in the "just in" section of the local library. I've not got far, but it's really rather good and, thus far at least, the #mathematics has been mercifully fairly easy.

That feels better. Goodbye stupid #X - it's so much nicer here. 😄
