Xanthoria parietina - Broader view
Pretty yellow Lichen on the stems of some shrub in the dunes. Could it be Xanthoria parietina ?
(Update: Yup, confirmed https://waarneming.nl/observation/204110641/ )
Xanthoria parietina is a foliose, or leafy, lichen. It has wide distribution, and many common names such as common orange lichen, yellow scale, maritime sunburst lichen and shore lichen. It can be found near the shore on rocks or walls (hence the epithet parietina meaning "on walls"), and also on inland rocks, walls, or tree bark.
