A few plants were in flower: Birdsfoot Trefoil (C2), Bramble (C4a, C6b), Common Daisy (CP), Creeping Thistle (HP), Dandelion (C3a, C4b), Hedge Woundwort (HP), Herb Robert (C5a), Hogweed (C3a), Meadow Buttercup (C2), White Dead-nettle (HP). Birds were few and far between: a Blackbird, Crow and Nuthatch were noted. Noon Flies Mesembrina meridiana still present.
