An afternoon walk around Hayes Farm .


Common Darters , in tandem and ovipositing in puddles along the track .







Common Field Speedwell - Veronica persica .









Sloes , the fruits of the Blackthorn , ready to be made into Sloe Gin .











A flight of Mallard over the Trout Fishery , which is completely overgrown with Canadian Waterweed .













Finally managed to identify Shaggy Soldier-Galinsoga , a member of the Daisy family , found last year , but un-identified .

















A member of the Dock family , Redshank-Polygonum persicaria .




















A single specimen of Sun Spurge-Euphorbia peplus was found .
