A decent wander in NQ of about 3km today. North Queensferry is always a place that's likely to have good things. It's an old town (where the queen famously crossed the river, obviously) There are lots of old walls. There are lots of old people. There are lots of garden escapes because old people keep gardens, it's windy, and there are lots of nooks and crannies for a seed to rest in. And the coast, with a tiny saltmarsh area, where I went looking for glassworts. As half-suspected, January is not primetime for glassworts. But they're there and I'll get the later. So are other things I'll have to get later, so it's definitely flagged for repeat visits.
What there are, however, are walls - Wall Rue, Wallflower, Wall Lettuce, Pellitory-of-the-wall, Wall Maidenhair Spleenwort. Wait, that's not right. But the little bits of rough ground and old walls make for an interesting tour.
What was my favourite species of the day?
Mind-your-own-business.
