“The bill-shaped seed pods of Common Stork’s-bill explode when ripe, sending the seeds flying! This low-growing plant has pretty pink flowers and can be seen on grasslands and coastal sands.” The Wildlife trusts
A tiny pink or white flower that can be spotted at Seaford head, at the hotel footings above Splash point, the Martello fields and in some verges – e.g. Chyngton way.

There are a number of similar species, and some cultivated varieties – so we recommend you use a good wildflower key book or website to confirm identification
