meadow buttercup (Ranunculus acris); reds: corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas) and red campion (Lychnis dioica); pinks: alsike clover (Trefolium hybridum), tufted vetch (Vicia cracca) and musk mallow (Malva moschata). There were spring plants that had already finished flowering, like cowslip (Primula veris) and probably ribwort plantain (Plantago lanceolata). There were lots of plants among the profusion that I couldn’t identify. Next time I must take our pocket guide and check them thoroughly!
So, Hilfield Pond is worth visiting. Make yourself comfy on one of the seats and try and ignore the traffic behind you. Enjoy! 68 around Yateley August 2016
