Monk’s Wood

A very blustery but warm day. We headed for Monk’s Wood to specifically look for crested cow-wheat. Saw several grasses and at the pond adders tongue but no sign of the cow-wheat. For lunch we ended up at the Elephant and Castle pub in Wood Walton, which turned out to be a chinese restaurant. We came out feeling very full. Then visited Five Arches Pit and Woodwalton Fen two very small nature reserves. Nothing very special about them. It was then a dash back to put Jane on the train to Edinburgh.
