The group assembled at the Heritage Centre car park, despite the turmoil created as our meeting clashed with a very popular two day antique collectables fair organised by BBR Auctions for the devotees of pot lids, Breweriana, bottles, pharmacy and kitchenware that attracts visitors worldwide.

Botanising in the car park
The morning was spent recording flora during a circuit of the reservoir, then followed a walk through to the railway sidings and canal, before visiting the on site cafe for tea and cakes to round off a very successful day.

Small Toadflax (Chaenorhinum minus)
We recorded approx 240 species from the 1km square. Not bad when we started off with just 76 species. There were some duplicates but many new species. The tetrad total now stands at 290.
