New Ground #NewmarketHeath #ChalkGrassland outside the SSSI but similar to Bury Hill; Burnet-saxifrage (Pimpinella saxifrage), Lesser Stitchwort (Stellaria graminea) & now blooming Restharrow (Ononis repens) & Mouse-ear Hawkweed (Pilosella officinarum). #MyWalk #30DaysWild 1/2

Another gorgeous warm evening at Bury Hill #NewmarketHeath, great mats of Kidney Vetch & a chance to take slightly better pics of Horseshoe Vetch (Hippocrepis comosa), Common Rock-rose (Helianthemum nummularium) & Black Medick (Medicago lupulina) #Suffolk #wildflowerhour 2/4

At Bury Hill #NewmarketHeath SSSI on a mile of #chalkgrassland lots Kidney Vetch (Anthyllis vulneraria), Salad Burnet (Poterium sanguisorba) & Hoary Plantain (Plantago media), some Common Rock-rose (Helianthemum nummularium) & a little Horseshoe Vetch (Hippocrepis comosa).
3/5

Lying in the chalk grassland of Bury Hill #NewmarketHeath SSSI, 10 mins from home, enjoying the scent of Wild Thyme (Thymus polytrichus), when I rolled over & realised Bastard Toadflax (Thesium humifusum) was entwined with it!!
