Caldey Island

During our bank holiday visit to the island, casual recording produced a little Didymodon umbrosus on the north-facing wall that houses dovecote adjacent to the Old Priory (approx. location shown), which appears to be new for Pembs. We never ventured onto the coastal parts of the island, so the only other casual observations were of fairly routine fare.

Back in Tenby a rust on a well-established colony of Malva pseudolavateraall up the esplanade zig-zag may be of interest (I'll email Mr Stringer to check the id, but I'm suspecting Puccinia malvacearum). Plenty other good vascular plants there too including Clinopodium ascendens, Salvia verbenaca and Verbascum nigrum. Unfortunately Carpobrotus edulis was among the non-natives thriving there!
