Encountered a tiny fragment of old woodland on the north Cornish coast, just 5 or 6 trees, and one of them plastered in this indicator of temperate rainforest: tree lungwort.

I felt at once the thrill & sting of the once-common now-rare. Sensitive to air pollution, lungwort are now mostly found only in western Scotland. To find it here was both very special (I squealed!) and a sad reminder of what we could lose
