I can spot 'em.

Just for the record - mine.

Another Thursday which fell on a Thursday.  Today we reverted to Aira Force; and got even further towards the Falls. 
En route I called a WHOA! 
I have frequent Whoas; some to let the speedy ones pass, some just for a rest and some coz I've spotted something.
This whoa was to say "What do you reckon that is?"
We were both clueless but I said it looked like a "Yellow Scarlet Pimpernel".  (Hows that for good Oirish)
"Is there such a thing?"  -  Well - it appears there actually is a Yellow Pimpernel, which it's taken me 78.75 years to discover.
DUH?!?
Jerra had an app which ID-ed it fairly easily, but personally I was a wee bit gob-smacked. I do NOT claim to know all our flora by any means but it still comes as a shock.
I looked it up on return. 
One site gave its name in both Gælic and Welsh - BUT - Google fell at the first fence and only managed the Welsh, which it translated as
"Yellow Mary Scent".

Today's score, 5130 @ 20:00. I have done better (>7,000 last trip), but that was on the flat.
