Loch Lomond - East Loch Lomond
Round-leaved Sundew (Drosera rotundifolia) can be found on heathland and is a common plant in Scotland. It uses sticky dew on the end of its tendrils to capture insects. The leaf will then wrap itself around the insect and digest it. It has adapted to this carnivourous diet due to the low nutrient levels in its habitat. This one was photographed at Cashel, East Loch Lomond.
