This was a Black Poplar with only 7,000 known specimens in the UK. (Below some observations from Dr Phil Smith)
In October 2008, Patricia Lockwood and Dr Phil Smith visited the Wirral. While there, by chance, they were shown a large Black Poplar tree in a Hoylake garden. This reminded Pat that her friend, the late Vera Gordon, had recorded a similar specimen at Formby Point many years ago, so they went to see if it was still there. Sure enough, they found the tree near Victoria Road car park. Unexpectedly, however, it was accompanied by another 83 similar trees in woodland, which Pat christened “Vera’s Grove”. Nearby, stood more of what looked like the same kind of tree around the old asparagus fields.
This was a surprise because the Black Poplar (Populus nigra sub-species betulifolia) is a rare species in Britain, native only in the south and east on river floodplains. National surveys have found only about 7000 individuals and their numbers are declining. This tree has a long history of human use in Britain, its timber having fire resistant and shock absorbent properties. It is the third most common surviving medieval timber after oak and elm, being used especially for crucks and floor-boards. However, these cultural uses are largely defunct and the species has greatly declined in the British landscape. Although not native in northern England, the Black Poplar was widely planted in past.
Black Poplars at Formby Point range in age from about 50 to over 120 years and there are thought to be 7000 individuals in the UK but their numbers are declining. In ideal conditions, this species lives about 200 years but, growing in impoverished sand in an exposed coastal climate, many of the specimens are in poor condition and some have died within the last few years. It is hoped to propagate them by cuttings, the first being taken during a Formby Civic Society “Black Poplar Walk” on 25th April 2010.

The Dartmoor Pony has lived in south-western England for centuries and is used for a variety of disciplines. Because of the extreme weather conditions experienced on the moors, the Dartmoor is a particularly hardy breed with excellent stamina. Over the centuries it has been used as a working animal by local tin miners and quarry workers. It is kept in a semi-feral state on Dartmoor, Devon.
Despite this, numbers have declined from an estimated 25,800 in the 1930's to about 5,000 today. Only around 800 ponies were known to be grazing the moor in the spring of 2004.
This week's theme is Numbers, so I took a photo of the thermometer at Martock today. Spring skiing conditions to be sure.
