Spring in the air
It was another beautiful day - too nice to be spent indoors mulling over coursework - so I headed down to a nearby brook where the sun was shining, the insects were emerging and the plants were flowering. Spring is in the air...

Hi Bill - hard to see from here but that Rhizomnium looks a bit prostrate and the leaves seem to be attached in such a way as to not be decurrent - it's not Plagiomnium rostratum?
Cheers

Hi Ali - after taking a second look I'm sure you're right and that it is P. rostratum. My bryophyte ID skills are notoriously rubbish, and it's going to take a few more meetings with the local experts before I should be allowed let loose with a hand lens away from the garden! ;)
Thanks for spotting that one!
Best wishes
Bill
