Duxbury Ramblers: Thursday 26 August

Thursday, August 26, 2010

Dry sunny morning - we did an hour around the rucks and lodges.

Common Fleabane - Pulicaria dysenterica

Tormentil - Potentilla erecta

Then we took off to Knott End and the weather was still good.

Found another small Apple of Peru in flower, we checked for it on our way back a couple of hours later it had been dug up.

Apple of Peru - Nicandra physalodes

Ripe Black Medick Seeds - Medicago lupulina

Black Medick - Medicago lupulina

I scattered some of them among the rocks.

This Grasshopper was very keen to have its photo taken.

ID as a Common Field Grasshopper

Arnold says "why is every thing we find are always common?"

Who cares if he is common, also ID as a male.

Take Care.
