Two photos from today's walk!

Loved the blue coloring on that #mossy rock, which marks the edge of a competing #lichen. Before I saw that, I thought it was just a blank space.

Lichens are beautifully bizarre [composite] organisms, and I wish I had an easier time of identifying them

Biologist Isla visits our project to conduct a drone mapping survey where we are restoring Scottish temperate rainforest."
ABOUT THIS PROJECT
===============================
Scotland possesses some of the richest examples in Europe of a rare biome - temperate rainforest. Despite this, there are only thought to be around 30,000 hectares of woodland that have rainforest biodiversity left within the rainforest zone, an area that stretches along the west coast and is characterised by its wet climate. The zone currently holds approximately 93,000 hectares of semi-natural woodland that could potentially harbour this diversity. Ancient or old growth woodlands are the best places to start protecting, expanding and managing this declining habitat.

I've been behind on visiting the #mosstodon community. After a storm there were pieces of #mossy #tree bark on the ground.

#Rewilding #Mossy #Caves

Not just trees, or beavers, or whatever.

This video is about caves, and a salamander living for more than 100 years.
Meet the Olm, the flagship species of the caves.
