Again is this safe to graze sheep around, it is found underneath a damp hedge/ trees.
Thanks

Looks like ground elder from the leaves, but not if those thorned stems are part of the plant. Are they the same plant?

No, sorry that's a young bramble underneath. Thanks

Looks like dogs mercury to me. I don't have specific knowledge of sheep but it kills dogs and people if eaten so I wouldn't risk it.

Thanks TerryT
I will make sure it's fenced off. My it's good from my plant identification, I'm walking the fields and lanes studying leave shapes etc

Oh what fun you're having Twotwo. Maybe a witch lived at your place in the past, making evil brews
