A very wet and windy dog walk this morning with the addition of recording flowering plants for the BSBI New Year Plant Hunt. Our list was: Groundsel, Chickweed, Dandelion, Gorse, Red Dead-nettle, Pineapple Weed, Celandine, Barren Strawberry, Daisy and rather unexpectedly Water Avens - two different plants and three flowering stems.
Of the 441 surveys inputted so far, the top ten by frequency of records are: Daisy, Dandelion sp, Groundsel, Annual Meadow-grass, White Dead-nettle, Gorse, Petty Spurge, Red Dead-nettle, Shepherd'spuse and Ivy-leaved Toadflax.
The longest list was of 81 species, which given the maximum time allowed is 3 hours is quite some list! It was by a group though and like most of the lists was from 'down south' - this time Norfolk ..it'll be interesting to follow the results as they come in.
