To the City of London

Up to Town to look around the City of London for Wild Flowers &c.

Starting in the Garden of St Mary Aldermanbury we then made our way across to the Barber-Surgeons' Garden via St Alphage Garden: finishing up at All Hallows-by-the-Wall (sadly: as more and more Building Work is carried out the City is becoming increasingly sterile and devoid of Plant Life).

An unexpected Sighting was of a Pied Wagtail on a grassed area beside London Wall, close to Moorgate viz.
