Creeping Thistle (Cirsium arvense), our most common thistle, is thought of as a weed by many gardeners, due to its ability to spread quickly and the difficultly encountered in removing it. It is, however, an important food source for many farmland birds, which are facing population declines due to the intensification of agriculture. These were photographed at RSPB Black Devon Wetlands. The stem on Creeping Thistle is smoother than on Marsh Thistle, which has prickles on its stem.
