Small flowered cranesbill. Quite an extensive patch on raised bit of council estate grass (maybe rubble underneath, tufnell park, site of a V2 strike), w wild strawberry, germander speedwell, etc. Not rare but not often seen dominating a patch. Late or early for #WildflowerHour #bsbi #botanising
Well-being of the people @ Lake #Kerkini, #Greece, is intricately connected with well-being of the birds. #Ecotourism – #birding, #butterflying, #botanising; and wider #adventuretourism – hiking, canoeing, etc., is the strongest development incentive in the area

First flowering plant* survey of the season. We recorded 100 plant species today! Not bad for 5 hours. 🌱 💚 🌳
*not a huge amount in flower yet, and a bitterly cold wind. Glad I took a flask!
