Surveying the wonderful Upwood Meadows NNR at the weekend - very excited to refind Heath-grass, last recorded from the site by renowned botanist Terry Wells in 1996!
Other highlights were sheets of Saw-wort and Dropwort, and several areas of Sulphur Clover

walked a little bit further than I planned today, and may have lost the path for a little bit... but well worth the extra steps when I bumped into this beautiful Asp

a handful of highlights of a few days in the Spanish Pyrenees, giving our Aragon itinerary a bit of a refresh, 14 years since I was last here...
Pyrenean Iris, Alpine Marmot, Pyrenean Honeysuckle and Spanish Fritillary
so far, so fab

this year's spring visit to Estonia is coming to an atmospheric end
last night our group headed out onto the bogs of Soomaa, where lekking Great Snipe bounced and a Lynx casually sauntered across the track...

Blaming a 4am start to the day, I should of course have written Military Orchid Orchis militaris!!
A very hot field trip with the Lincs Flora Group to Swinstead Valley yesterday - some great limestone grassland with Purple Milk-vetch, Horseshoe Vetch and Crested Hair-grass, plus a strong population of Stinking Chamomile in an arable field headland...
