Water-crowfoot... on top of the Sussex Downs.

This is the view of Falmer church and the new football stadium from the South Downs Way east of Brighton.
Click on the picture to expand it.
Further east are these Dew ponds -- full of water and vegetation despite weeks of no rain.
The pond was full of these Water-crowfoots, difficult to identify due to their great variability and my inabilities.
What a lovely plant, which I spotted on a 10 miles Mid Sussex Ramblers' walk from Rodmell today, ably lead by Paul and Sue.
The next Dew pond, further east was dried out, suggesting that it was leaking, or that perhaps the former ones had been topped up with water somehow.
