A set of Lifetime Species Lists for some of the wildlife I have seen and the nature reserves I have visited. As the Chinese Proverb says - "The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper names".

Water Speedwell
So far as I can recall without having my list to hand Water Speedwell - found by the River Exe - was a new species for me.
I have yet to identify this plant - a clover species?
Welcome - comments are nearly always appreciated (the exception being those that simply advertise which don't make it past my moderation so please, don't bother).
The speedwell is Brooklime Veronica beccabunga. The other thing is a Persicaria of some sort, possibly P. amphibia but a bit odd.
