CLOSED UNTIL ADOXA REAPPEARS EARLY NEXT YEAR!
This year's early spring Townhall Clock challenge (again) is to find Adoxa moschatellina in areas where it hasn't been seen for years! The major challenge is to find it in or around Ystradgynlais - where it is very rare if not extinct!
Note that there are now some Flora mapping targets which are the priority...
Look under hedgerows, particularly bordering woodland.
The dates between which it should be possible to find the species are roughly 15/03/2025 –
15/06/2025 (but for the early period you will need to be confident of identification with leaves only!).
Results: All records to me please with grid reference, if possible, but certainly the square it was found in; date found; a picture is always welcome and I will post them here.
Note that the Monad name is simply that, not an indication of the place where the species is located.
Links on the grid references for monads will take you to OS Maps at the right spot but on their "standard" free to use map.
The Google Maps link takes you to the centre of the monad on that map app. |
