A lovely day enjoying the sunshine on Niwbwrch / Newborough beach. Ferns, birds, fish and dolphins, plus paddling, sand, snow and coffee - the perfect weekend.

Nice to see someone else goes ferning over the Christmas break 😊. Least Adders-tongue (Ophioglossum lusitanicum), a #fern I would love to see. #fern Friday

🚨EL HELECHO EXTINTO.🚨
¿Y si os dijese que existe un helecho que por mas que vayas a buscarlo, no lo encontrarías?
Pues este es el caso de Dryopteris ascensionis, un helecho que se considera extinto desde el 2012 por la UICN 😟🧵

So pleased and proud to have added my late grandfather’s #publication on #Swiss #Ferns in a special display for the Autumn meeting today of British Pteridological Society. I think he would have loved knowing I would go onto work Natural History Museum and me showing him NHM Library and Archives collections. #Special #Family

Recovering from a day that will live long in the memory. The British Pteridological Society Autumn meeting at the NHM Botany, with amazing speakers talking about herbaria, and visits to the Cryptogamic Herbarium, NHM library and Sloane collection - utterly magical. #FernFriday
