Snowdrops and Mosses

 The snow has melted and the snowdrops are in full bloom in North Merchiston Cemetery


and some lovely mosses in Dalry Cemetery 

Capillary thread moss (Bryum capillare) with the capsules. Probably Grimmia pulvinata on the right with the silvery appearance and probably Brachythecium rutabulum. (Thanks to David at Edinburgh Natural History Society for help with identifying the mosses). 

For Nature Notes.
