Galleywood Common
Visited Pond (P3), TL704025 on 26 June 2008. Collected a sedge that I was not familiar with which turned out to be Wood club-rush Scirpus sylavatica. Has been recorded at Galleywood Common before (Jermyn) but was not recorded in 1982 (Essex WT) or in 1995 (Essex Field club). Quite a lot of it growing around the pond margins.
