The Arable Weed project at College Lake Nature Reserve looks wonderful at the moment - a sea of Corn Chamomile Anthemis arvensis, dotted with bright red Corn Poppies Papaver rhoeas and livid blue Cornflowers Centaurea cyanus. A closer look reveals rare or virtually extinct arable plants such as Corncockle, Pheasant's eye and Field Cow-wheat. Sadly this is a sight lost forever from the British countryside.
