Liverton Trading Estate

Orange Hawkweed. Another day, another load of questionable ids. An hour spent in the insalubrious surroundings of the Liverton trading estate. I've learned that waste ground provides a rich hunting ground for plants!


Lesser Swine-cress.


Swine-cress.


A Willowherb species starting to emerge in numbers now.


Guelder Rose.



Yorkshire Fog.


Smooth Tare.


Annual Meadow-grass.


Possibly Meadow Foxtail?


Perennial Rye-grass.


Corky-fruited Water-dropwort. And below.



Annual Beard-grass?


This is the first time I've found Salad Burnet in Exmouth. Such a stunning flower.


Lesser Stitchwort - nearby on the Dinan Way bank, opposite Lidl.


Large Skipper - from a couple days ago in the back garden.

  1. Agree with Annual Beard Grass. I encounter large quantities of this on my local patch which is the area of a golf course development. Not sure how it got here as not locally native but abundant here. Quite a bit of Canary Grass-another non-native here.

  2. Hi Neil - it's a good job at least some grasses are identifiable. I really struggle with them but intend to persevere. Thanks again for all you help. Best wishes. Matt
