a fantastic day, getting a lot more than I bargained for!
I started off with sea bindweed, sea-holly, hare's-foot clover and fragrant evening-primrose 
later I found thick-leaved stonecrop and some rustyback fern 
then some beaautiful yarrow broomrape 
then I saw two of my three favourite flowers: field cow-wheat and a bee orchid as well as field gromwell and ivy broomrape
