Bird & wildlife sightings from the Barnsley recording area.
Saturday, 19 August 2017
Dunford Bridge 19th Aug.
A new plant-gall for the Barnsley area (as far as I know), the spectacular tongue-like growth Taphrina alni, caused by an ascomycete fungus infecting the scales of female alder catkins.
Formerly rare but spreading.
