Clove-scented Broomrape at Old Park, Canterbury, during today's field meeting. One of 45 counted, but apparently 67 were counted earlier this year. Outside the SSSI and threatened by development. @BSBIbotany @Love_plants #wildflowerhour
Aberrant form of Common Spotted Orchid from Kent with strange flowers that don't appear to have spurs. Peloria or pseudopeloria?
An impressive olive tree near Tarvin in Cheshire, with an equally impressive colony of the moss Nogopterium gracile. The tree has been in place for at least 3 years but most likely Nogopterium was already on it when imported from northern Italy. @BBSbryology
An excellent wood for bryophytes. We saw lots of Hyocomium armoricum and Scapania undulata along the ghylls.
Great field meeting Saturday looking for bryophytes etc. at Combwell Woods #SSSI in the High Weald. Pics show Lemon-scented Fern (scarce & declining in Kent) & Large Bittercress. Thanks to Mark at Meadow Farm for showing us round the beautiful site. @HighWealdNL @NESussexandKent

An old graveyard at Southborough Common with an ancient woodland flora, including wild daffodil and a few graves that have lawns of Rhytidiadelphus loreus @BBSbryology
I had a cycle out to Ivychurch and Brenzett on the Romney Marsh to appreciate the native Black Poplars Including the native sapling in a ditch at Ivychurch near to the female tree Fantastic work by @KentFieldClub in funding DNA clonal analysis and @LemonStephen @BSBIbotany
Aw forget previous post - when did I ever let shit photography get in the way of posting bryo pics? Odontoschisma denudatum Barbilophozia attentuata + perianths Harpanthus scutatus +exciting local extras Scapania umbrosa Thanks to @Trichocolea for organising #liverworts
Interesting results from our project looking at Kent's Black Poplars thru DNA studies. Of >30 samples, there were 20 native trees, representing 4 known clones (e.g. trees from cuttings). The rest were hybrids, inc. pictured (majestic!) hybrid with Lombardy Poplar. But ...
The hybrid sedge Carex otrubae x divulsa, growing among colonies of both parent species, near Sevenoaks Weald. Occupying the damp base to a steep bank with its C. otrubae parent. The C. divulsa parent growing on the dryer ground above.
'Bullet holes' created by emerging Hornet Clearwing moths, along the base hybrid poplar trees in Dartford. Very grateful to Ray Winterman for showing me these.
Great to see Tunbridge Filmy-fern on rocks where I haven't seen it before, last weekend at Eridge Rocks
Hay-scented Buckler-fern at the bottom of the photo, a much brighter green than the Broad Buckler-fern above it. Seen with the @BBSbryology South-east Group along the edge of the sandstone cliff face at Eridge Rocks last weekend.
Tennis ball size nest made of Carex vesicaria, just found in a pond at Chiddingstone Reserve. Assume this is Harvest Mouse.
As our previous tweets about the Kent Making Space for Nature got such a response, here's a short thread on the event itself. First, it was an excellent morning, with enough variety of speakers to get you thinking (pic is Emma Lansdell of @BumblebeeTrust) #ms4n (1/5)
Local #Wildlife Sites are essential to #RebuildingBiodiversity and the #30x30 target for protecting lands and sees. So we're delighted that @KentWildlife will be at the Kent Wildlife Conference on 21 October to discuss LWS monitoring. Book your place here: kentfieldclub.org.uk/programme/upco…

'Memento mori' - remember you too shall ... Ooh look! A pale-lipped banded snail Cepaea hortensis!
Bristle club-rush (Isolepis setacea) - quietly understated, easily overlooked, and by no means common in Kent. But seems to be enjoying the cool, wet summer at this site in Cobham Woods. #wildflowers
Kent Field Club is back on Twitter after a short hiatus - but now at this new address. And we'll do our best to catch up with all the wonderful accounts we previously followed. #Kent #nature #wildlife #insects #wildflowers #ornithology #mammals #naturalhistory
