We aim to record the flora in this important landscape (permission pending!) and rediscover, hopefully, some lost treasures such as Sium latifolium (Greater Water-parsnip), Cyperus longus (Galingale), Mentha pulegium (Pennyroyal) and Persicaria mitis (Tasteless Water-pepper). Please note, the terrain is unlikely to be easy going and may be flooded depending upon the tide. If this the case, we will focus on exploring other areas of the park. This meeting is joint with the London Natural History Society and is suitable for beginners and for more experienced botanists.</p> <p>Meet: at 11:00 am on the junction of London Road and Park Road (TQ17107717) on the Thames Path route.</p> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div> <a href='https://bsbi.org/events/syon-park' title='link to meeting' class="nounderline"><i style="font-family: dashicons;"></i></a> <div class="bsbi-item-label">contact</div><div class='bsbi-item-value'><a href='mailto:hotfungus@hotmail.com' title='hotfungus@hotmail.com'>Mark Spencer</a></div> </details> </section>  <section id="35855" class="meeting-section oddpost" data-start="2023-08-20" data-end="2023-08-20" data-vc="VC87" data-types="training"> <details open> <summary><h2 class="widget-title">Plant Identification for Habitat Surveys, Dumyat</h2> <span class="meeting-counties"><a href='https://bsbi.org/perthshire' title='VC87'>West Perthshire</a></span> <span class="meeting-dates">20<su+01:00>th</su+01:00> August 2023</span><div class="meeting-types"><span class="meeting-type-label type-training" title='Training meetings are led by tutors to help you sharpen your identification skills.

The workshop is not suitable for complete beginners but is more aimed at those who have some basic or intermediate plant identification skills who are also interested in understanding the relationships between plant species and the habitats in which they grow. (Please note that this is not a training course on Phase 1 habitat or NVC surveys but rather a workshop to assist participants in identifying key plant species in different habitats).</p> <p>The meeting is open to all <a href="https://bsbi.org/join-us">members of BSBI</a> and BSS or anyone else who may have an interest (Priority will be given to BSBI and BSS members in the first instance). It is likely that the workshop will involve some rough walking over the open hill in places. Come prepared for a day in the hills!

Ferns are often thought of as difficult, so participants will gain some foundational knowledge which may then be confidently built upon through outings, field meetings and workshops elsewhere.

It was formerly a site of intensive agriculture, but under the management of the RSPB and with the deposition of vast amounts of substrate from the Crossrail excavations, it is being transformed. A range of habitats is being created over several square kilometres, and coastal realignment is taking place, with the removal of a section of seawall. This is allowing the development of an extensive transitional intertidal zone, a rare thing in Essex where transitional zones are usually prevented from developing by the presence of seawalls.</p> <p>Our visit is timed to fall between the sensitive bird breeding and wintering seasons, and is optimal for many of the late-growing coastal plants of the region in particular the Chenopodiaceae. The habitats are continuing to mature, and, because of the site’s location and recent history, we should expect the unexpected.</p> <p>This is a day-long meeting. Access to the site is really only possible by road. The site is quite isolated, with no nearby shops or hostelries, so please bring everything that you will need for the day. There is a portable toilet located at the carpark. The terrain is moderate. It is largely flat, but we will encounter steep-sided seawalls, borrowdykes and ditches, and the intertidal zone may be uneven or muddy.</p> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div> <a href='https://bsbi.org/events/wallasea-island' title='link to meeting' class="nounderline"><i style="font-family: dashicons;"></i></a> <div class="bsbi-item-label">contact</div><div class='bsbi-item-value'><a href='mailto:sven.m.wair@gmail.com' title='sven.m.wair@gmail.com'>Sven Wair</a></div> </details> </section>  <section id="35860" class="meeting-section evenpost" data-start="2023-09-09" data-end="2023-09-10" data-vc="VCH8" data-types="general"> <details open> <summary><h2 class="widget-title">Poulaweala Creek and Limerick City</h2> <span class="meeting-counties"><a href='https://bsbi.org/limerick' title='VCH8'>Co.

Arrangements will be flexible, some days the group may stay as one body, other days smaller groups will visit different sites to monitor rare or scarce species or update grid squares not visited recently. Day outings will be tailored to individual needs to cover all fitness abilities.</p> <p><a href="http://www.theglynhirestate.com">Glynhir Mansion</a> is located about 2 km east of Llandybie on the western flank of Mynydd Du (the Black Mountain) at SN640151.

There will be ample opportunity in the timetable to visit the site. Large parkland trees provide the setting to the mansion, including <em>Tilia cordata </em>(Small-leaved Lime), and there remains much scope for further discoveries to be made in the vicinity.</p> <p>The cost of the week from lunchtime on 27 May to breakfast on 3 June, including bed, breakfast, packed lunches and evening meals, will be approximately £600 and will be limited to about 15 participants. Accommodation for part of the week will be charged <em>pro rata</em>. A limited number of <em>en suite</em> rooms are available on a first-come first-served basis.

During this weekend meeting we hope to see an exciting range of the Island’s flora across different habitats.</p> <p>Our first day will focus on the west side of the Island, where we will explore the flora of unimproved chalk downland and chalk costal cliffs around Freshwater Bay. The meeting is timed to enable us to see many of the Island’s specialities associated with these habitats such as <em>Gentianella anglica</em> subsp. <em>anglica</em> (Early Gentian), <em>Lobularia maritima</em> (Sweet Alison), <em>Matthiola incana</em> (Hoary Stock), <em>Orobanche picridis</em> (Oxtongue Broomrape) and <em>Pilosella peleteriana</em> subsp<em>. peleteriana</em> (Shaggy Mouse-ear-hawkweed). The second day will concentrate on sites in the east of the Island. We intend to visit the rich dune grassland of St Helen’s Duver where, if the season is conducive, we shall see a rich array of <em>Trifolium</em> species including <em>Trifolium suffocatum</em> (Suffocated Clover) and a good selection of dune grasses. In addition, we will explore the coastal cliff top grasslands around Sandown that are home to specialities such as <em>Phelipanche purpurea</em> (Yarrow Broomrape) and <em>Silene nutans</em> (Nottingham Catchfly). There may be opportunities to see other rarities for which the Island’s flora is famous, such as <em>Melampyrum arvense</em> (Field Cow-wheat) and <em>Fumaria</em> <em>reuteri</em> (Martin’s Ramping-fumitory). However, please note, we will be too early in the season to visit the site for <em>Clinopodium menthifolium</em> (Wood Calamint).</p> <p>Meet on Saturday in the (free) National Trust carpark on Afton Down, east of Freshwater (SZ351856) at 11:00am<em>.</em></p> <p>Booking is essential and numbers are limited to 20. Participants will need to organise their own accommodation but there is plenty of accommodation available on the Island, although early booking is probably worthwhile. Red Funnel, who sail from Southampton, do car ferry/accommodation deals. Car sharing should be possible and is encouraged where parking is limited.</p> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div> <a href='https://bsbi.org/events/41675' title='link to meeting' class="nounderline"><i style="font-family: dashicons;"></i></a> <div class="bsbi-item-label">contact</div><div class='bsbi-item-value'><a href='mailto:colinrpope@gmail.com' title='colinrpope@gmail.com'>Colin Pope</a></div> </details> </section>  <section id="41676" class="meeting-section evenpost" data-start="2024-06-08" data-end="2024-06-08" data-vc="VC36" data-types="recording,general"> <details open> <summary><h2 class="widget-title">Joan’s Hill Farm Plantlife Nature Reserve, Checkley,</h2> <span class="meeting-counties"><a href='https://bsbi.org/herefordshire' title='VC36'>Herefordshire</a></span> <span class="meeting-dates">8<su+01:00>th</su+01:00> June 2024</span><div class="meeting-types"><span class="meeting-type-label type-recording" title='Recording meetings often consist of systematic surveys contributing to distribution mapping or local Flora projects.

More than 25 different species of <em>Carex</em> have been recorded here with <em>Carex capillaris </em>(Hair Sedge), <em>C</em>. <em>diandra</em> (Lesser Tussock-sedge), <em>C</em>. <em>dioica </em>(Dioecious Sedge), <em>C</em>. <em>elata </em>(Tufted Sedge) and <em>C</em>. <em>hostiana </em>(Tawny Sedge) probably the pick of the bunch. There are also numerous non-<em>Carex</em> sedges and records for 3 <em>Carex</em> hybrids, two of which we should certainly see. Many other attractive species, including <em>Primula</em> <em>farinosa</em> (Bird’s-eye Primrose) and a fine array of orchids, are frequent and should be at their best in early June. If time allows we will also look at some drier limestone grassland near the village of Orton where <em>C</em>. <em>ornithopoda</em> (Bird‘s-foot Sedge) grows.</p> <p>All sedge enthusiasts are welcome, whether experienced or not, but numbers will be limited to 15 to minimise damage to fragile habitats. This is a repeat of the overbooked 2023 meeting and priority will be given to those who could not be accommodated last time.</p> <p>This will be a full day meeting so please bring a packed lunch. The distance covered will not be great, 5 or 6 kilometres, but parts will be very wet so wellies or waterproof boots are essential. Although Tarn Moor can be idyllic at this time of year please come prepared for less clement conditions. There are no facilities at Tarn Moor but later in the day we will visit Orton which has a shop, cafes and toilets.</p> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div> <a href='https://bsbi.org/events/sedges-at-tarn-moor-and-orton-2' title='link to meeting' class="nounderline"><i style="font-family: dashicons;"></i></a> <div class="bsbi-item-label">contact</div><div class='bsbi-item-value'><a href='mailto:carexmike@yahoo.co.uk' title='carexmike@yahoo.co.uk'>Mike Porter</a>; <span class='meeting-contact-part'>tel. <a href='tel:016973 43086'>016973 43086</a></span>; <span class='meeting-contact-part'>mobile. <a href='tel:07803 349 861'>07803 349 861</a></span></div> </details> </section>  <section id="41678" class="meeting-section evenpost" data-start="2024-06-08" data-end="2024-06-09" data-vc="VC94" data-types="recording,general"> <details open> <summary><h2 class="widget-title">SHARPP recording along the Banffshire coast, Portgordon to Portsoy</h2> <span class="meeting-counties"><a href='https://bsbi.org/banffshire' title='VC94'>Banffshire</a></span> <span class="meeting-dates">8<su+01:00>th</su+01:00> – 9<su+01:00>th</su+01:00> June 2024</span><div class="meeting-types"><span class="meeting-type-label type-recording" title='Recording meetings often consist of systematic surveys contributing to distribution mapping or local Flora projects.

This is an ideal day to practice knowledge of grass identification and observe a variety of floral and vegetative characters.</p> <p>The walk will follow the coastal path on rights of way and there will be full consideration of the conservation value of the habitats visited. Last year we observed nearly 50 taxa of Poaceae, including a range of common grasses, seaside species and rarer taxa such as <em>Koeleria macrantha </em>(Crested Hair-grass), <em>Bromopsis inermis </em>(Hungarian Brome), and <em>Anisantha madritensis </em>(Compact Brome).</p> <p>All grass enthusiasts welcome, however complete beginners at grass identification should expect a steep learning curve. Numbers limited to 20. All participants come at their own risk. The distance is about 3.5 miles but expect to walk more including some steep coastal slopes. Meeting 10:00am on Marske-by-the-Sea main square by the roundabout (Marske-by-the-Sea TS11 7LD, NZ63472228) with a chance to use the public toilets, shops and cafes, for a prompt departure at 10:15am<em>. </em>Please bring packed lunch and drinking water as we will not be arriving into Saltburn-by-the-Sea until later in the afternoon.

The site is a mosaic of calcareous mire, bog, and heath, together with some woodland, scrub, grassland, small streams and a pond, which between them provide a very diverse flora which is occasionally joined by garden escapes from the adjacent housing. Over 350 vascular plant species have been recorded here; perhaps the most notable of these are <em>Blysmus compressus </em>(Flat-sedge),<em> Carex dioica </em>(Dioecious Sedge), <em>Drosera anglica </em>(Great Sundew),<em> Dryopteris cristata </em>(Crested Buckler-fern),<em> Eleocharis quinqueflora </em>(Few-flowered Spike-rush),<em> Gymnadenia densiflora </em>(Marsh Fragrant-orchid)<em>, Isolepis cernua </em>(Slender Club-rush),<em> Parnassia palustris </em>(Grass-of-Parnassus),<em> Pinguicula vulgaris </em>(Common Butterwort), <em>Schoenus nigricans </em>(Black Bog-rush),<em> Solidago virgurea </em>(Goldenrod) and <em>Thelypteris palustris </em>(Marsh Fern).</p> <p>The terrain is generally easy on the main footpaths, elsewhere it can be a little more challenging and can be very wet in places, so stout waterproof footwear or welly boots are recommended.</p> <p>In the afternoon we will visit to the nearby cliffs (about 900 m away). Beeston Cliffs are designated as a SSSI for both biological and geological reasons. We will focus on the calcareous cliff-top grassland, both here and on the adjacent cliffs at Sheringham. Particularly notable species recorded here include <em>Phelipanche purpurea</em> (Yarrow Broomrape) and <em>Silene conica</em> (Sand Catchfly). Other species we could see that may be of interest include <em>Allium vineale</em> (Wild Onion), <em>Cerastium arvense</em> (Field Mouse-ear), <em>Lepidium latifolium</em> (Dittander), <em>Lupinus arboreus</em> (Tree Lupin), <em>Orobanche elatior</em> (Knapweed Broomrape), <em>Trifolium glomeratum</em> (Clustered Clover) and <em>Trifolium scabrum</em> (Rough Clover).</p> <p>The terrain is generally easy but the path over Beeston Bump is relatively steep and please note that the cliffs are eroding and it is dangerous to go too close to the edge. A short walk through the town (<em>c</em>.800 m) will bring us back to the morning meeting point.</p> <p>On day two we will visit some of the coastal parts of Holkham NNR by kind permission of the Holkham Estate. We will look at the sand dunes including the pine woodland which was planted on the dunes in the late 19th century. These comprise an intact sequence of dune communities from fore-dunes through to yellow and grey dunes and ultimately fixed dune grassland, including dune slacks supporting <em>Laphangium luteoalbum</em> (Jersey Cudweed) (an ‘old’ site for the plant before its expansion into urban areas) and <em>Centaurium pulchellum</em> (Lesser Centaury)<em>.</em> The western end of the site also features saltmarsh, and a range of <em>Salicornia</em> (Glasswort) species, along with<em> Limonium bellidifolium</em> (Matted Sea-lavender), several of the <em>Limonium binervosum </em>(Rock Sea-lavender) aggregate, <em>Frankenia laevis</em> (Sea-heath) and <em>Suaeda vera</em> (Shrubby Sea-blite). Species recorded in the pinewoods which may be of interest include <em>Goodyera repens</em> (Creeping Lady's-tresses) (which may have been introduced with the pines) and <em>Hypopitys monotropa</em> (Yellow Bird's-nest). Depending upon livestock movements and presence/absence of breeding waders, it may also be possible to visit the fresh-marsh behind the dunes to see <em>Carex divisa</em> (Divided Sedge) and <em>Ranunculus baudotii</em> (Brackish Water-crowfoot).</p> <p>The terrain is generally easy, but will involve a walk of about 1 km on level ground before reaching the main saltmarsh area, and a further 1 km before reaching the dune grassland (the woodland area would involve a <em>c</em>.8 km round trip) We will time visiting the saltmarsh to low tides on the day, which are likely to coincide with our return trip to the car park. Stout waterproof footwear (or something that you don’t mind getting muddy) is recommended.</p> <p>Botanists of all skill levels are welcome, from beginners to specialists.</p> <p>Meet at 10.30 each day.</p> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div> <a href='https://bsbi.org/events/north-norfolk-coast-2' title='link to meeting' class="nounderline"><i style="font-family: dashicons;"></i></a> <div class="bsbi-item-label">contact</div><div class='bsbi-item-value'><a href='mailto:bob@elymus.net'>bob@elymus.net</a></div> </details> </section>  <section id="41684" class="meeting-section oddpost" data-start="2024-06-22" data-end="2024-06-22" data-vc="VC21" data-types="recording,general,beginner"> <details open> <summary><h2 class="widget-title">Syon Park</h2> <span class="meeting-counties"><a href='https://bsbi.org/middlesex' title='VC21'>Middlesex</a></span> <span class="meeting-dates">22<su+01:00>nd</su+01:00> June 2024</span><div class="meeting-types"><span class="meeting-type-label type-recording" title='Recording meetings often consist of systematic surveys contributing to distribution mapping or local Flora projects.

It has only ever been recorded in 1889, 1897 and 1953 from Fionn Gleann and Clach Leathad in the mountains above Glen Coe and no precise locations are known. <em>Hieracium basicrinum </em>is a relatively distinct hawkweed in having toothed, spotted leaves and thus no specialist knowledge is required (identification guidance will be given!). Whilst the meeting will focus on <em>H. basicrinum</em>, other hawkweeds and mountain species will also be recorded. We will access the mountains via the chairlift in Glencoe Mountain Resort on both days (<em>c</em>.£15/trip), and the terrain will be challenging with cliffs, screes, steep ground and possibly wading the River Etive. As the practicality of survey is very dependent on weather, we will take a cautious approach for safe access in the mountains, perhaps even abandoning the high ground for the safer areas near the chair lift. Even if we do not find <em>H. basicrinum </em>we should see a good range of other species.</p> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div> <a href='https://bsbi.org/events/hawkweed-hunt-fionn-gleann-and-clach-leathad-glen-coe' title='link to meeting' class="nounderline"><i style="font-family: dashicons;"></i></a> <div class="bsbi-item-label">contact</div><div class='bsbi-item-value'><a href='mailto:tim_rich@sky.com' title='tim_rich@sky.com'>Tim Rich</a></div> </details> </section>  <section id="41940" class="meeting-section oddpost" data-start="2024-07-06" data-end="2024-07-06" data-vc="VCH16" data-types="general"> <details open> <summary><h2 class="widget-title">North Connemara coast</h2> <span class="meeting-counties"><a href='https://bsbi.org/west-galway' title='VCH16'>West Galway</a></span> <span class="meeting-dates">6<su+01:00>th</su+01:00> July 2024</span><div class="meeting-types"><span class="meeting-type-label type-general" title='General meetings explore all the plants in the area - ideal for both beginners and more experienced botanists.'>general</span></div></summary> <div class="bsbi-item-label">led by</div><div class='bsbi-item-value'><span>John Conaghan</span></div> <div class="meeting-content"><div id="pl-41940" class="panel-layout" ><div id="pg-41940-0" class="panel-grid panel-no-style" ><div id="pgc-41940-0-0" class="panel-grid-cell" ><div id="panel-41940-0-0-0" class="so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child" data-index="0" ><div class="so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base" > <div class="siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget"> <p>This field meeting will explore areas of coastal habitat in the Glassilaun/Lettergesh areas of north Connemara.

This is also an area of centuries of lead mining and smelting industries, the complex geology and disturbance resulting in a mosaic of habitats.</p> <p>At Priddy Mineries we will see species typical of Calaminarian Grassland: <em>Sabulina </em>[<em>Minuartia</em>]<em> verna</em> (Spring Sandwort), <em>Noccaea caerulescens</em> (Alpine Penny-cress), <em>Silene uniflora</em> (Sea Campion) and the diminutive fern <em>Botrychium lunaria</em> (Moonwort). Mire and heath communities include <em>Eriophorum angustifolium</em> and <em>E. vaginatum</em> (Cottongrasses), <em>Juncus squarrosus</em> (Heath Rush), <em>Carex paniculata</em> (Greater Tussock-sedge), <em>Narthecium ossifragum</em> (Bog Asphodel) and <em>Trichophorum germanicum</em> (Common Deer-grass). <em>Typha angustifolia</em> (Lesser Bullrush) and <em>Carex rostrata</em> (Bottle Sedge) grow by the pool. Limestone outcrops and grassland support calcicoles such as <em>Polygala vulgaris</em> (Milkwort) and <em>Arabis hirsuta</em> (Hairy Rock-cress). The remains of stonework support a variety of ferns, including <em>Cystopteris fragilis</em> (Brittle Bladder-fern). Four <em>Asplenium </em>spp. (Spleenworts) grow on one wall!</p> <p>Stockhill is a large Forest England plantation, also on “gruffy” ground. The wide rides have a diverse flora and there is an abundance of ferns, with 26 taxa recorded across the two sites.

This meeting will explore the south slopes of the Campsies above Queenzieburn, taking in a range of habitats including narrow stream gorges, outcrops and waterbodies, and aims to record across a number of previously unexplored monads. There are small areas of limestone bedrock here, potentially holding interesting calcareous species, and old records of unusual plants such as <em>Sedum villosum </em>(Hairy Stonecrop) and <em>Cryptogramma crispa</em> (Parsley Fern) suggest the area may repay further investigation.</p> <p>This area has some access tracks, but much of the day will be spent on rough, untracked ground, exposed to the elements.

There are old records of locally rare species including <em>Anacamptis pyramidalis</em> (Pyramidal Orchid), <em>Ophioglossum vulgatum</em> (Adder's-tongue) and interestingly <em>Viola lutea</em> (Mountain Pansy)<em>.</em></p> <p>Meet at 11:00am at public car park at south end of Doughmore Beach (Q984670)</p> <p>Booking is essential as numbers will be limited.</p> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div> <a href='https://bsbi.org/events/carrowmore-doonbeg' title='link to meeting' class="nounderline"><i style="font-family: dashicons;"></i></a> <div class="bsbi-item-label">contact</div><div class='bsbi-item-value'><a href='mailto:don.ocathain@gmail.com' title='don.ocathain@gmail.com'>Donncha Ó Catháin</a></div> </details> </section>  <section id="41717" class="meeting-section evenpost" data-start="2024-08-24" data-end="2024-08-24" data-vc="VC21" data-types="recording,general,beginner"> <details open> <summary><h2 class="widget-title">Yiewsley and Cowley Peachey</h2> <span class="meeting-counties"><a href='https://bsbi.org/middlesex' title='VC21'>Middlesex</a></span> <span class="meeting-dates">24<su+01:00>th</su+01:00> August 2024</span><div class="meeting-types"><span class="meeting-type-label type-recording" title='Recording meetings often consist of systematic surveys contributing to distribution mapping or local Flora projects.

The organisation has staff based across the UK’s four countries and works to support European and International <em>Lepidoptera </em>conservation. Butterfly Conservation has had a presence in Northern Ireland for over twenty years. The focus of our work can be distilled down to the conservation of priority species, working across landscapes and connecting people to nature. We achieve this in a number of ways including through research and science, policy, conservation and engagement/raising awareness.</p> <p>In practice, in conserving and protecting our threatened and wider countryside species, we need to be able to identify the habitat types where they are found and oftentimes, their specific foodplants. Conservation of threatened species requires us to conserve these habitats/plants which should benefit both plant and animal! Butterfly Conservation look forward to explaining more about our important work to BSBI members and sharing some of our common goals.</p> <p><strong>Timing</strong></p> <p>The webinar will begin at 7:00pm.

Despite this, they are poorly studied, largely on account of difficulties in telling these diverse, variable but increasingly common shrubs apart. James Common, BSBI Joint Vice-County Recorder for North Northumberland (VC68) has now spend two years attempting to record the species growing wild in North East England. In this introductory talk, he will explore the identification of 10-15 of the species likely to be encountered across Ireland, and share tips and resources designed to inspire botanists to take their first steps in getting to grips with these difficult yet fascinating plants.</p> <p><strong>Timing</strong></p> <p>The webinar will begin at 7:00pm.
