The walk started from Sonning Common in light drizzle but the weather improved as the afternoon progressed. A large colony of Bee Orchids was found in a nearby field, together with Narrow-leaved Vetch and Changing Forget-me-not. Barberry and Hound\u2019s-tongue were growing along the side of the next lane. <!--more-->Tormentil, Heath Speedwell and Sheep\u2019s Sorrel were typical flowers of the acid grassland at the top of Crowsley  Park, while Bird\u2019s-foot Trefoil became abundant as the path dropped down onto the underlying chalk on the side of the hill. White Helleborine, Adder\u2019s-tongue Fern, Twayblade and a Small Heath butterfly were seen in a grassy clearing on the chalk hillside at Kent\u2019s Hill. A spider with a prominent longitudinal white stripe was identified as <em>Pisaura mirabilis<\/em> (Nursery Web Spider). On the way back, Orpine was found on a roadside bank. The bluebells on the north-facing bank were still in full flower, while those on the south-facing bank were past their best.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/rdnhs.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/whitehelleborine.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-338\" title=\"White Helleborine\" src=\"https:\/\/rdnhs.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/whitehelleborine-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"White Helleborine\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rdnhs.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/whitehelleborine-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/rdnhs.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/whitehelleborine.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Sunday 17th May, Janet and Jerry Welsh led a field trip to Crowsley Park and Kent\u2019s Hill.
