Lichens on twigs

The recent gale force winds have been blowing twigs off the trees in our garden and I have been looking at some of the lichens on them.  On the apple trees we have Lecanora chlarotera, Flavoparmelia caperata, Xanthoria parietina, Ramalina farinacea, Physcomia distorta, Physcia adscendens, Lecanora conizaioides.
