 I played a few holes on the Green course this evening.  It was good to see that the Maiden Pink was flowering well next to the 10th tee.  The plant is virtually invisible until the flowers come out due to its grass like leaves.  It is listed as a threatened species and I think that this is the only place in Oxfordshire that you can find it.

On the 4th hole there were a row of Beautiful Demoiselles settled on the Alder leaves.  All males, with the dark green wings and green body.
