Found this broken piece of branch laying on the ground in a field in Downton, Hants.
Lovely Lychen.
Any ideas on ID please?

Hi Cordalyne
Looks like there is a healthy lichen population up in the canopy of your tree. Always worth looking at fallen branches after a strong wind - exciting finds can result at times (though generally not for me.)
Anyhow, your main lichen is Ramalina fastigiata - quite common but needs fairly clean air to grow well. Your photograph shows it well.
In case you are interested, there are other lichens on your fallen branch:
Parmelia sulcata (mixed in with the Ramalina);
Melanelixia fuliginosa ssp. glabratula (very green, flat on the wood);
what looks like Punctelia subrudecta at the left of the upper photograph.
