I did, however, spot this Scarlet Elf Cup - Sarcoscypha austriaca - just beside some Celandines:

Opposite-leaved Golden Saxifrage is also ready to flower:

Just a reminder that my new database is up and running, with around 20% of my species illustrated. You can find it at donegalwildlife.altervista.org
Late news.
On 2nd July 2010, I showed a photograph of what I thought was a sawfly larva. Turns out it's the caterpillar of the wonderfully-named micromoth Schreckensteinia festaliella. Thanks to Linsepatron of Denmark for that.

Yes, I saw my first celandines yesterday too. Love the scarlet elf cup - I've never seen it in the flesh.

This is a fantastic blog/resource! I will be busy reading your archives as well as reading your new posts from now on.

Welcome, Honeyoak. I have also been keeping an eye on your blog since Angus mentioned it to me. Your work makes my 5m x 10m veggie plot look rather small.
Ian, thanks for updates/amendments. I have added/corrected where appropriate.
I really appreciated the id for the Geastrum fungus, Thank you.
