Thanks JK, It was a bit of a challenge but I think it conveys the moment. As for camera in hand, it was very rough terrain and a loaner body, I didn't want to ding it on a rock. These two students caught us up, we had a brief chat then Christopher took it upon himself to become their guide!!! Never having been up there before. LOL He shot ahead like a mountain goat and found them the best route to the top. Until then he had been lingering and grumbling how steep it was... Girl power... LOL This was about 20 minutes after the Tornado passed us, about two thirds of the way up the scree section. It took us about an hour and a quarter to climb the 350 Metre high scree to the summit.

That WAS the Path!!! Going back to the plant ID, I feel something of an idiot not having any plant recognition skills, despite a close involvement with botanical stuff for many years. I do know some plants, some very well but as for general plant and other nature recognition I am rubbish! I have even considered creating software to help by entering characteristics like leaf-form, colour, flower form, habit, etc. But I haven't had time. Would love to do it but I'm not short of projects! Yesterday a friend suggested http://www.aviasoft.co.uk/natureexplorer.html But it seems it only works with Windows and Android, whatever that is??? Does anybody know of similar software which works either web based, or on the Mac OS? Even better, iOS... Then I would always have it with me.

Have you looked at Plant Encyclopaedia by Florian Dana £3.99 in AppStore? I havent used it but it look quite good.

Thanks JK, I have looked at it, seems superficial... Listed under 'Entertainment'??? I am currently looking at Mullen & Pohland GbR who have a large suit of bird, plant, tree, mushroom and a wide variety of other nature ID apps. Mainly £2.99 each although they do some bundles, non of which meet my interests exactly! LOL. Website: http://www.sunbird.tv/de/sunbird-apps-ebooks/ One of the features is you can take a photo, then have the app recognise it. That's OK with most plants or flowers, trees etc. but their UK bird recognition app also has photo recognition... I hope it's good at recognising dots in the sky! Even with a proper camera with strong telephoto getting a decent photo of a bird is a challenge with an iPhone or iPad, close to impossible. I think I will try an app at a time, see how it pans out, if it works I will start a new thread. A screenshot of the App Store page for Mullen & Pohland GbR, who are both qualified botanists btw.

Robert, Janice has emailed you a link to the uk national plant guide. It's a PDF you can download free. Whilst it may not have the interactivity of an app, it might be worth having on your phone or iPad.
