Counting gentians

I spent this morning counting Chiltern gentians in one area of the nature reserve. They are really prolific this year, having benefitted from our scrub clearance and winter grazing by New Forest and Exmoor ponies. I only managed to cover 24 3x3m quadrats before the rain came down - I've got at least another 50 or 60 to go yet. So far I've counted over 3000 plants with a couple of quadrats having over 300 plants each. I think I will be counting plants in my sleep tonight!
