This used to be a very common grass which I would see nearly every outing to the countryside in Cheshire but in recent years I have found it less and less. It likes wet places so the warmer and dryer springs and summers won't have suited it but I had to search for this excellent specimen. The flower heads are always blackish and look like a Foxtail and the stems first run parallel with the ground before ascending to a flowering shoot.
