Firth of Clyde - Ailsa Craig scenery, plants and animals
Red Campion (Silene dioica), is an ancient woodland indicator and can often be found in shaded woodlands during or not long after Bluebells have finished flowering. It is an important food source for invertebrates and is often mentioned in mythology. This photo was taken on Ailsa Craig, where it is unlikely that there was any ancient woodland - the plant has a widespread distribution.
