View south over fields east of Litlington The camera was on the bridleway, about 80 m north of the grid boundary. The photo probably doesn't include anything within 80 m of the camera, so I have made this a cross-grid shot, with the hedge in the middle distance as the subject.

Henbane - Hyoscyamus niger This is only the second time I've seen this plant. The first was on Lullington Heath - a couple of miles from here. According to the Sussex Plant Atlas, it is occasionally found on the chalk - on disturbed ground not far from the sea. That would tie in with both my sightings. Henbane is in the nightshade family, and is poisonous in large quantities.
