Grasses

Having been on a grass ID course recently (thank you Gwent Wildlife Trust), I've been surveying the grasses here. My favourite is Quaking Grass (pictured) but I only found three single tiny plants and it doesn't seem to have spread at all in the five years since I first saw it. Other grasses seen so far include Sweet Vernal Grass, Perrenial Rye Grass, Yorkshire Fog, Meadow Foxtail, Crested Dog's Tooth, Rough and Smooth Meadow Grass, Barren Brome, False Oat Grass and Red Fescue. There are others still to identify and I know lots of Common Bent will be along shortly.
