    Question the fluffy and not so fluffy

    these were taken on the clifftop going round to wick castle and i wondered what they were lol the fluffy one looks like its dressed for the chilly weather we get here sometimes lol bolook like members of the pea family of plants but other than that i would be guessing.



    If its profound what was the name of the golfer and what did he find?

    Bird's foot or Marsh Trefoil, difficult to tell without some thing to scale it to.

    yeah think your right about the birdsfoot trefoil lizz the flower head on the fluffy one is about 4-8 inches high and they where growing along the top of a cliff hope this helps

    Default Some answers

    The first is the common Bird's-foot Trefoil (Lotus corniculatus)and the second is the Kidney-vetch (Anthyllis vulneraria). The Kidney-vetch is the northern - Scandinavian type Anthyllis vulneraria ssp. lapponica which is the commonest type in Caithness.

    Cheers
