D90 mt.
just been up the same valley, it's like that disney film where all the wildlife just pops out

buzzards, frogs, stone chats, heron, ravens, dragonflies, skylarks, beetles and wild flowers everywhere.

Mrs Stoner (Sr) the font of all knowledge when it comes to flora says it looks like a Bugle.

Not sure Mrs stoner, but thanks for the reply. They were pretty solitary, only in the boggy parts and didn't form stacks like the photos linked, also notably cumbria seems to be excluded on the location map on first hit
