Common Liverwort

A damp start to our annual monitoring visit to a Suffolk sand quarry, but the moisture showed off the mosses and liverworts that colonise damp sand, including this splendid example of Common Liverwort.

The sun appeared around mid-morning, and it ended up as quite a hot and sticky day. Lots of excellent plants, as usual, including incarnadine swathes of Panicled Willowherb, an American species first recorded in the UK in 2004 and now gradually spreading across East Anglia.
