Hi Ruth, I’m not sure what I’m looking for in the picture. Is it the two algae patches or something else? Cheers, Jon

Its the circles (dozens of them on a bare path), what are they? - If they are as you suggest, algae, which algae are they? I have never seen them before. Should the algal people to look at them?
Cheers, Ruth

Yes, I think they are algae, so try suggesting it and see what comes up - you never know!

It seems that it might be a lichen.
