Ancaster

Met up with the BSBI for a field excursion around Anacaster. Our first stop was a cemetery that held the largest of just two British populations of Tall Thrift. Although recently mowed there were a couple of plants in flower. It was then a walk to the adjacent LWT reserve. It was a lovely spot, mainly wet meadows. Spent most of the morning there recording the plants. From there it was on to Raunceby Warren, a small strip of land between a busy road and railway, but home to Hernaria glabra and many other interesting plants. Didn't spend too long here. It was then back home, with a quick stop off for ice-cream as it had been another very hot day.
