I'm sorry to say I didn't know black medick until last week, even though it has been underfoot almost everywhere all my life.

I suspect that the joy, however, was not in the numbers, but in being a good witness, as you always are, to the glories of the natural world.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959953035812596907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-26717175892304673012010-06-28T18:34:59.061+01:002010-06-28T18:34:59.061+01:00Lovely strategem of your dad's, Tramp... and W...Lovely strategem of your dad's, Tramp... and Weaver, that tally really did amaze me, considering it's not some rich chalk or limestone habitat...The Solitary Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284354541952038339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-56177364304772715822010-06-28T18:21:54.092+01:002010-06-28T18:21:54.092+01:00Yes Robert - proof that if one keeps ones eyes ope...Yes Robert - proof that if one keeps ones eyes open there is plenty to see in the countryside.
