Old River Bed, Shrewsbury

Following two days of talks at the BSBI recorders' meeting it was good to get out and look at some plants! We were taken to a site, which had been part of the river Severn, within the Shrewsbury's town boundary, somewhere we hadn't been before. We were glad to have borrowed some wellies from the FSC as the fen area was extremely wet. We were shown Lemna minuta, which we would have definately missed if we hadn't been shown it, and several different ferns from the wooded area. After lunch, at Preston Montford, we drove back to Marston Green to pick up the computer and then it was back to Peterborough to un-pack.
