Made a quick circle of Ballast Bank area beside the harbour in Inverkeithing, principally to see if anything interesting birdy was going on. There wasn't, though it was pleasant enough. Catching my eye, though, was a large yellow-flowered crucifer that I was pretty certain I didn't know. Turned out to be Bunias orientalis, the Warty Cabbage, or Turkish Rocket, which sounds much nicer. This is it here.
A random foray into a place I haven't visited for a long time. So long, in fact, that I hadn't been aware of the Greater Tussock Sedge that's pretty prominent there.
New to me was a mayfly that I would have normally ignored, except I recently discovered that I had bought a field guide and immediately forgotten it. Turned out to be a Pond Olive (Cloeon dipterum), which has no hind wings (hence dipterum), and the most outrageous eyes, which apparently are useful for picking out females in a swarm (the theory goes).
A bonus for the visit was first-for-VC85 (and me) weevil Limnobaris dolorosa, which is a muncher of Sedges and Sedges. I don't have a good photo, so this'll have to do for now.
