Skye week nature shots
Here’s a small fraction of the nature that was on show during the TFL Skye conservation work week. The rest may be available to view during your Trees for Life week on the island.
-
- I’m assuming this is bluebell (Hyacinthoides non-scripta) pre full bloom
-
- An early grey (Xylocampa areola) seen here on the kitchen light in the hostel. Not, I suspect, it’s natural habitat.
-
- These wee fellas and fellaresses were found in a small puddle half way up Glen Kylerhea
-
- Drinker moth (Euthrix potatoria) caterpillar
-
- A speckled wood from my day off in Dalavil wood
-
- Lady’s smock
-
- Heath milkwort (Polygala vulgaris). Possibly.
-
- I can’t remember having seen a Whitethroat before, and here is one, get in!
-
- 3 days later and the drinker is now so much more obviously a moth.
-
- Ha, I was doing so well (wasn’t I?), but, no, I don’t know what this is. I will do when one of you tells me though… A dark barred twin spot carpet! Thank you Kate.
