This is a feather star—an ancient species of marine invertebrate

Further advanced WHPT riverfly surveying just upstream of Cobb's Clough weir this morning. This is being done to record the invertebrate life in the river Tawd before the upcoming removal of the weir.

So uplifting to see the willows emerging and expanding in Glen Quoich. This habitat will reap benefits for invertebrate diversity which should have knock on positive influences up the food chain.

So they can regenerate their arms, their legs their tail, parts of their heart, and brain, and spinal cord…

Feather stars are a type of marine invertebrate with featherlike arms that radiate from a central body. They date back about 200 million years and they are thought as living fossils

For all the invertebrate GOP!!!

Sadly Kirkliston has now seen those much-appreciated wee areas, where grass & wildflowers were allowed to grow, cut to the quick.
All that invertebrate habitat & food lost in 1 fell swoop.
