Autumn Hawkbit (Scorzoneroides autumnalis) The short grass on the airfield is thickly carpeted with Autumn Hawkbit (no, they are *not* dandelions!), a testament to the undesirability of too rigorous mowing.

River Dee Erosion Although the water is low and the river fairly slow at the moment, a look at the river bank on the right shows that it is not always so. The truncated edge of the grass, and the divots sliding down the slope below, show that the river has been undercutting and destabilising the bank on the outside of this meander.
