The summer flowers are fading fast at Great Elm as autumn approaches. However, a number of flowers remain amongst the long grass including Thistles, Field Scabious, St John’s Wort, Crane Bill etc.

Other pictures show Field Scabious and Cranes Bill:
The below shows the top of the embankment at Great Elm after it has been cut with scythes. A staff member from Sustrans attended this work to check that it was being carried out safely under the pandemic rules.
