Shame we couldn't find any at the site we had gone to check on, although it did have 2 species of Earthstars that @jeremybartlett.bsky.social is checking. That's 8 new Sandy Stiltball sites we've found now.

Re-nationalise utilities, set reasonsble prices instead of paying shareholder dividends and taking profits out of company and country thereby put more money in pocket of ordinary people whose spending ability helps drive the economy.

I probably know three or four things about them! 😅 Happy to try and answer any queries though.

BBC = Biased Broadcasting Corporation. And it's not new but has certainly become worse. Constant air time for rightwing.

I agree with Neobisium carcinoides. There's a good fold out chart by FSC to id these.

I had to use the LED light ring on my TG6 so the colour got bleached, tried to compensate by under-exposing. It was paler than previous Monobella grassei I've seen though; we saw several different ones, all pale.

Great stuff. I'm beginning to think that some DNA work on Dicranopalpus ramosus/caudatus would be useful (or not!) - I find male caudatus at some sites but all the females I find with them appear to be ramosus.
