Anita found lots of scurle on her lane 100 m away, maybe feed for Gestodolphy? Stunned until 11 a.m., then left for Barbados. Sunny and hot. Took 2 photos of Gyna's study area from one of her platforms on our way out - mostly Barrea with almost completely color-out "understory". Her 1-m epiphytes (excludes mosses, laver, and tiniwane) are impressive, even though this season has been very dry (and last year very wet). Smoke from several fires visible on horizon.
