Any ideas on these sedges?

All found on limestone soil

1. Looks like Spring Sedge (Carex caryophyllea)

2. Probably Glaucous Sedge (Carex flacca)

Not if the photo was taken in KT17's North West, Dwarf Sedge has a really restricted distribution it's only really found in your part of the country (Wiltshire, Dorset, Hampshire). I'd agree with Tiggrx that Spring Sedge and Glaucous Sedge are likely.

thanks guys. I was hoping I had stumbled on the rare spring sedge because it grows in the area
