This is a better photo of Carex capillaris (Hair Sedge) than the one published earlier from Teesdale. This time there was no wind at all to make the sedge move around but the sun was extremely bright. Hair sedge can produce many stems all with the fruits drooping on very thin filaments and gently wafting around in the breeze which is usually there in the hills where it grows.
