First and third right Maggie. Male marsh harrier right Chris. I wondered if it was chicken of the woods. The grass is fairly rare and is found on open sand on fixed dunes and inland on sandy heaths. This one is in an old sand quarry near the coast. I think it is one which is garden worthy. I,ll wait a bit in case someone knows it.

Would #3 be Leymus arenarius, Blue Dune Grass? #2 looks a lot like Scilla verna to me.

The rare grass found in sandy habitats was Grey Hair Grass, Corynephorus canescens. Here are some more.

2. looks a bit like alpine coltsfoot Homogyne alpina, but I don't think it is that.
3. is lousewort, Pedicularis sylvatica
