Orthotrichum pumilum in a hedge by Llanmartin Church, a couple of km from last year's colony and surely indicative of a 'mother load' of this species somewhere in SE Wales.
Gyroweisia tenuis on the mortar of Llanmartin Church.
Cirriphyllum piliferum in Llanmartin Churchyard (rare in the Newport area).
Plagiochila asplenioides in the gutter of Llandevaud Church (rare in the Newport area).
Funaria hygrometrica on forestry tracks at Kemmys Graig (I think this species is declining significantly).
Great effort with the square bashing Sam and well done with the Orthotrichum. I think i may have seen this once recently but the capsule wasn't ripe enough to confirm, plus i mashed it up a bit when examining it, so was pointless sending on. I'll keep on trying...
