The Commons' bracken has been humbled by the recent rains, battered down from well above head height to somewhere just above the waist. Bracken had many wide ranging traditional uses, and in past communities it was a much valued resource; although today due to it's highly invasive nature it's seen more as a threat to biodiversity. You can see why too. I can't think of an environment in which it doesn't appear to flourish, it's been suggested that bracken covers 1.6% of the UK.
