Wednesday 15 July

Had a walk on to the Lower Burgh, we tend to walk there when we are on our own as I am forever stopping looking at plants, it is becoming a fantastic place for all nature not just plants.

Amphibious Bistort - often mistaken for Redshank and overlooked, this patch is in water but not always can be found on wet ground

Only found a few Goatsbeard this year, used to be lots of these around.

Goatsbeard ready to open as a clock to spread it's seeds.

This patch of Mugwort was heaving with greenfly - the 2 spot ladybirds were all over the plants enjoying the feast.

Just this one 14 Spot among the many 2 spots.

This patch of Lady's Bedstraw has grown over the last few years, it has a wonderful scent.

Marsh Woundwort - lots on Lower Burgh Meadow.

Purple Loosestrife only seen this small patch up to now - there was more last year.

Red Bartsia in flower on the Lower Burgh.

Almost as big as mum - looks healthy as well.

A mass of Tufted Vetch

Wasp on Hogweed

Wild Angelica Flowers

I had a good day took lots of photos - chased lots of butterflies and did not get one good photo - flowers are so much easier providing the winds not blowing.
