I took more photos on Monday than I realized

I'm not getting into dog breed identification :-). And I've officially given up on grasshoppers (or is the correct term crickets?). Still struggling with the plant life too, but these ones seem to be fairly firm identifications. There are days when I do wonder why I'm doing this!






Common Bird's-Foot Trefoil

Conriculatus means, rather endearingly, "little horn"



Sainfoin
Species: Onobrychis viciifolia
Faimily: Leguminosae
Perennial



Ploughman's Spikenard
Species: Inula conyza

With its achenes
