Two surveyors from sister company Storm Geomatics Limited went down to the meadow to monitor 13 quadrats across the meadow. This year an additional 4 quadrats were located so we had coverage across all six different seeding areas, although the seeds were broadly the same, our responsible body (Warwickshire County Council) suggested it would be useful to expand the quadrats to monitor how each area is getting on. Jake Beddard was very enthusiastic about the survey and he can be seen pictured here kneeling down recording the species.  The most species rich quadrat had 22 different species, two of them undesirable though - the white clover and the green dock, I also don't like the Bristly Ox-tongue or the Spiny Sowthistle in the hay, so I will try and remove this before the hay cut in mid-August.. This is the list from that quadrat:

Timothy, Crested Dog's-tail, False Oat Grass, Queen Anne's Lace, Hogweed, Common Knapweed, Hop Trefoil, Dandelion, Smooth Meadow Grass, Meadow Barley , Orchard Grass, Perennial Ryegrass, Common Plantain, Green Dock, Creeping Bent, Hedge Bedstraw, Bristly Ox Tongue, White Clover , Cut Leaved Cranesbill, Spiny Sowthistle, Oxeye Daisy, Narrow Leaf Plantain
