west of parish

I has a quick look at the west end of the parish. Here the meadows which lie to the south of the town run into an area of mixed meadow, scrub and woodland. Among the 21 species recorded are two new to the area - there is a small area of regenerating silver birch (Betula pendula), and a single plant of pheasantberry (Leycesteria formosa). There is also a cherry laurel (Prunus laurocerasus) with no nearby plantings, and the first record of mouseear hawkweed (Pilosella officinarum) for the parish.
