Black Head for #seawednesday

We're in the Burren in Co. Clare again. It's a very special place. It is the only place in the world where Artic/Alpine and Mediterranean/Subtropical plants grow side by side. This is due to the unique karst landscape and its microclimate. It is home to about 1100 plant species out of the 1400 species in the whole of Ireland. There are also two butterflies that live there - The Pearl-Bordered Fritillary and the Brown Hairstreak which are not found anywhere else in Ireland. 🦋 Oh! There's also a really cute fox that my Dad has basically adopted. 🦊 😂

@nev Another cute bee you might try to find is Osmia inermis, a rarely-photographed species with a Palearctic distribution. Their mud-and-chewed-leaves brood chambers can be found by FLIPPING ROCKS. To narrow down which rocks to turn over you should look for pollen-laden mason bees disappearing into pebble fields. #bees #rocks #osmia #insects inaturalist.org/observations/2

I loved this scenic view in Capitol Reef National Park because of all the layers of flora and rock formations from a foreground of shrubs and grasses to distant background red rock cliffs. The scene shows the rugged beauty of the desert environment.
