Before entering the Southern Erith Marsh via the Waldrist Way' Entrance, we looked around for Wild Flowers on the nearby Road-Side Verges &c. Despite regular mowing &c. and it being a fairly small area, we identified seventeen species (some flowering) viz.
Annual Meadow-Grass
Bristly Oxtongue
Bulbous Buttercup
Common Field-Speedwell
Common Mallow
Common Stork's-Bill
Common Whitlowgrass
Daisy
Dandelion
Dove's-Foot Crane's-Bill
Groundsel
Hairy Bittercress
Red Dead-Nettle
Ribwort Plantain
Sticky Mouse-Ear
Thale Cress
and White Clover
Just inside the Entrance, we saw that the Coltsfoot is still flowering viz.
