I walked a loop from the 1st Blue around to the 16th Red this morning. There are a few characteristic plants that provide a last gasp of summer in late August. The Heather provides some autumnal colour, particularly around the 15th hole on the Red.

In Two-Pine Fen, Grass of Parnassus is a rare flower in southern England and grows just in front of the stream on the 4th Green. Devil's Bit Scabious has characteristic globular flowers and grows in quite large quantities.

I stopped for a while behind the 10th green on the Blue course where a large wave of Blue Tits (40-50 birds) passed through, with a Nuthatch and a couple of Spotted Flycatchers mixed in.
