Bitter vetch

There are several closely related varieties of Vetch, easily recognisable as a member of the pea family. I believe I have correctly identified this as the Bitter Vetch. Here in Connemara it doesn’t seem to be as common as the Bush Vetch and Tufted Vetch; I have seen it on a quiet lane in Moyard, and also near the Owenglin river outside Clifden.
