| | | Another one i couldn't identify
Just happened to spot this one all by itself today whilst on a dog walk, unfortunately the camera decide to mess about and would just not focus tightly on it and the exposure leaves a lot to be desired, no idea what went wrong, took out the battery and replaced, cleaned lens contacts still no different, manual/ auto focus no different, got back home and the damn thing is working perfectly. Oh well !

This looks like Grass Vetchling Lathyrus nissolia, which is quite rare |

Thin leaves + three or more flowers + some going bluey = bitter vetch  |

Yep, Bitter Vetch - Lathyrus linifolius. Common on the New Forest if thats where you walked your dog Beekeeper. |

Many thanks to all for the replies especially KeenTeen17, Deer Stalker and pleb for all providing the same name which i shall take as the correct one for that little flowering plant.
Deer Stalker, yes you are correct it was in the New Forest.
