What a cracking day for some field work. Got some colour matches, measurements and sketches of Spinulum annotinum interrupted clubmoss. We amazingly found Erica tetralix, cross-leaved heath. It felt like trying to find a needle in a huge haystack and were heading back down the hill when it caught my eye. No new growth yet but noted it's posisition so can hopefully check it regularly now... Great excuse to spend some time on bennachie 💜

Final year project, here we go!
Starting with one of my favourite plants to see in the hills, Eriophorum angustifolium cotton grass. First problem was fining it when it just looks like grass. Luckily it had started to flower, producing grey flower-clusters laden with pollen. Cotton grass is not strictly a grass, it is actually a sedge. I will share my four other chosen plants with you as my sketch book fills up.
