Red Bartsia
This photograph was taken south of the reservoir where it was more easily photographed in the shorter grass by the path. It is found amongst the longer grass and wild flowers on the upper slopes. It is quite often visited by butterflies. Hawthorn just above the ridge, just north of the reservoir.
The prevailing winds are from the south-west. Agrimony grows as an upright plant next to paths, but a dimunitive form occasionally flowers amongst the herbs on the lower slopes.
