Fallen leaves: Field Maple
Here seen by the North Downs Way close to the old Brockham quarry.
The bright lemon-yellow of field maple in autumn is pretty distinctive. The tree is very much a part of the native flora of the Downs and the Weald of south-east England. Elsewhere (and particularly in Essex) I've seen it planted in large numbers as a road-side tree - for instance along the A12 between Chelmsford and Colchester.

Red Road
The Red Road is chalk white as it passes the lip of Brockham Quarry. To the left, the scrubby hillside has been cleared and chalk grassland has taken over. This path is also part of The North Downs Way.

Fugitive on the Downs: Cotoneaster
There are sweeps of this low-growing shrub on the steep slopes above the old Brockham quarry. In November both leaves and berries were a striking shade of red. I didn't recognise the plant, so for help turned to my friends Jane Braham and Mike Lewis (professional gardeners, both of them). They identified it as a form of Cotoneaster - a garden escape with invasive tendencies.
Eradication will be difficult - especially as the plant seems to colonise the steepest slopes. In the mean time - for better or worse - the shrub will add a splash of colour to the downland flora.
