First day in the field

But first, a picture from Sunday evening, the barbeque at Alica's home in Stupava near Bratislava. We met Martin at the hotel, so now we are six. From left: Martin, Mika, Siri, and Håkon. Alica is preparing food somewhere, and I am behind the camera.

We drove all day to the Tatras, with one collecting stop near Bytča; open, calcareous rocks. Here is a view of the site from the parking lot. 

Highlights: Caloplaca cirrochroa, Porpidinia tumidula, Psora testacea, P. vallesiaca, Toninia diffracta, and T. opuntioides.
