Common Storksbill

A patch of common storksbill (Erodium cicutarium) which was growing on the sandy soil of the Massney Braes just above the beach in Lundin Links.
The long seed-pod, which can be seen towards the top left of the above photo and close-up below is shaped very much like the bill of a stork, and gives the plant its name.
