Yesterday I had the pleasure of surveying an ancient meadow not ploughed since at least 1802. Fascinating medieval ridge-and-furrow w/ yellow-rattle, birdsfoot trefoil & lady's bedstraw on ridges & meadow foxtail in furrows. 17 species per m2 & 30 in 200 m2! #NationalMeadowDay
It's #nationalmeadowday so here's a pic of Audrey's meadow (opp. Lake in Gledhow Valley) in full bloom! 🌷🌼🌸

Today is #NationalMeadowDay , so here's a couple of photos of a beautiful meadow in Northumberland I visited with Millennium Seed Bank UK Team colleagues to collect seeds. A fab example of an upland hay meadow in Upper Coquetdale, with a nice population of wood cranesbill.
Onny Meadows at the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre yesterday. Plenty of bees around in spite of it being a dull day #NationalMeadowDay

As it’s #nationalmeadowday here’s the meadow at Pevensey Nature Reserve which is looking particularly wonderful at the moment
