Around lunchtime I heard news of a Desert Wheatear at Rye Harbour LNR. A short phone discussion with Colin Turley ensued, 15 minutes later he picked me up, not long after we watching the bird which performed well despite the half term visitors. A shout from Linda as bonus Glossy Ibis flew over.

Not often I look at bryophytes, I generally find them far too much like hard work, but when it's as delightful as Petalwort (Petalophyllum ralfsii) I'll make an exception. With thanks to @dannywiderscope.bsky.social for dragging me kicking and screaming to it 👍
