I found this in the wood today. Have not seen anything like it before? Does anyone know what it is?    |

I think this is Bitter vetch, Lathyrus linifolius, or Grass vetchling, L nissolia.

I've just had a second look at this and the flower is like a Bitter Vetch, but the leaves are that of Grass Vetchling.
-----------
Had a further look and have to go for Hedera's second suggestion, Grass Vetchling - Lathyrus nissolia. Never noticed the flowers turning so blue as they fade before.

Thank you very much, and thanks for going to so much trouble. That plant is the only one I could find. | | |
