A new species for the reserve, although far from rare. Tucked into the edges of the car park. Knowing it was a
Geranium sp. helped, but it was the leaves that gave it away really, and I didn't know all the answers throughout the key. I feel like on this one I might have got there faster with Poland! (maybe...)
