HY3404 : Butterbur forest
taken 9 years ago, near to Swanbister, Mainland, Orkney Islands, Scotland
Butterbur forest
Inside the woodland is a huge seasonal 'stand' of Butterbur (Petasites hybridus). This very large-leaved and tall plant hosts a great number of invertebrates and shelters specialised fungi. It is potentially sensitive, so trampling should not be encouraged.
Recently the most northerly record of a specific and rare but very TINY beetle, was located here. See
