(Alder) and a mature Quercus robur (Pedunculate Oak) can be seen growing alongside it to the north. Pasture to the north of the stream is damp and dominated by rough grasses, while the pasture to the south is improved with frequent tall ruderals such as Cirsium arvense (Creeping Thistle) and Urtica dioica (Common Nettle).
Target Note 126a. A species-poor pond approximate 10 m in width and 30 m long. Typha latifolia (Bulrush) forms the emergent vegetation with the The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 Schedule 9 listed species Myriophyllum aquaticum (Parrot's- feather) growing abundantly between the Typha latifolia (Bulrush) stems. Between these two species there are small patches of Iris pseudacorus (Yellow Iris), Ranunculus sceleratus (Celery-leaved Buttercup) and Scrophularia nodosa (Common Figwort). The steep banks are dominated by species typical of improved grasslands including Cirsium arvense (Creeping Thistle) and Dactylis glomerata (Cock’s-foot). There is no aquatic vegetation.
Target Note 126b. A continuation of the stream described in Target Note 126 and broadly similar in its species composition and physiognomy.
Target Note 129. A trimmed field hedge about 1.6 m tall dominated by Crataegus monogyna (Hawthorn) with several semi-mature Quercus robur (Pedunculate Oak) trees.
Target Notes 130 – 132. NUMBERS NOT USED.
Target Note 133. A gappy, scruffy hedge comprising shrubs such as Sambucus nigra (Elder) and Ulmus procera (English Elm) together with mature Quercus robur (Pedunculate Oak) trees.
Target Note 133a. A predominantly Crataegus monogyna (Hawthorn) hedge with Quercus robur (Pedunculate Oak) standard trees.
Target Note 134. Ruderal vegetation dominated by chenopod species and Artemisia vulgaris (Mugwort).
Target Note 135. A recently planted hedge with species including Acer campestre (Field Maple), Crataegus monogyna (Hawthorn) and Prunus avium (Wild Cherry).
