Hard to say for sure, but the leaves look right and they are opposite on the stem as they should be. |

Wild watercress can contain a very nasty liver fluke so don't eat any  |

Yes it is Water Cress. Last weekend we visited Fowlmere RSPB Reserve where there's Watercress in the stream + there were notices up warning about dangers of eating it due to Liver Flukes. |

How do sheep get the disease if not like this? |
