On day two of 30 Days Wild
 |
| An oval patch of Carex leporina - Oval Sedge - Growing just where it should be growing - in rush pasture. This is the Vignea group of sedges - all the spikes look similar and have a mixture of male and female flowers |
 |
| If you look close ... |
 |
| Very close -- you can see that the male flowers (with anthers) are near the bases of the spikes and the female flowers 9with stigmas) are at the tip. |
 |
| The shoots, especially the flowering shoots radiate out from the centre of the oval. |
 |
| A bigger tuft |
 |
| Here we are at a meadow plot discussing different ways of measuring abundance of species. How can we record a good representation of what is there? |
