| | | Unidentified Pink Flower
Hello again - another of last year's unidentifieds ... I think this was taken in woodland in Lancashire, not too far from the sea. Has anyone got any idea what it is?   |

Hi Jez
Certainly a Strorksbill (Erodium), from what I can see of the leaves looks like Common Storksbill, E.cicutarium
