St Helen's Duver, Isle of Wight
Posted 23-08-2008 at 08:01 AM by leifus
So, no field cow-wheat at St Lawrence. We then headed off to St Helen's Duver, an area of saltmarsh and sand dune. On the dunes it was hard not to step on all the autumn squill which was growing among the marram grass - that was great!! There was sea mayweed and thrift as well, but the thrift was finishing, with only a few flowers left. By the saltmarsh grew common glasswort, greater sea-spurrey, sea purslane, annual sea-blite and common stork's-bill.
Finally, my third small copper of the year danced around, stopping only for a glance and not a photo
FLOWER OF THE DAY: Autumn squill
INSECT OF THE DAY: Small copper or Grey bush cricket
