Yes, common knotgrass.

Spectacular images 👍

Ha ha, I thought you might spot that one Sean 😄

Is this the same in Flower?

Great find, as it happens I'm in this area at the moment, please DM if that's ok👍

Yes that's their usual habitat 😂

Maybe alert Steven Falk over on X/twitter 👍

Probably the bright sunshine affecting the colour balance 👍

And I've just discovered that M europaea can be found in Surrey, so will be out searching the Yellow Loosestrife flowers this weekend 🙂

Great presentation yesterday Brigit, fascinating insight into the world of solitary bees, your enthusiasm was infectious 😊, they should upload this onto YouTube.

Yes I agree, and they're supposed to have a distinctive smell, which I didn't notice.

That's interesting Roger 👍

Lovely, thats quite late isnt it, normally peak early June if I remember.

Thanks Moira, found both at Sheepleas yesterday 😀

Yes agreed, but surely they should be winter grazing before the orchids come into flower, I dont understand the policy. Its so overgrown over all the Fens at the moment and what orchids did manage to flower have in many cases been trampled, its very disappointing 😣

Yes and Hants Wildlife Trust seem to be trashing their orchid fens with herds of cows too 😣

Looks great, im signed up 🙂
