Humphrey Head - Spiked Speedwell

A trip down to South Cumbria in search of spiked speedwell and autumn ladies tresses. Spiked speedwell is a schedule 8 species and autumn ladies tresses is listed as vulnerable and near threatened. Both occur on Humphrey Head - the Cumbria Wildlife Trust reserve, but we failed to find the autumn ladies tresses. The Spiked speedwell was great though - such a strong blue colour.
