The characteristics used to separate Erodium botrys from Erodium cicutarium are: Erodium botrys: Leaves deeply dissected, rostrum (beak) of fruiting body more than 8 cm long. Erodium cicutarium: Leaves compound with separate leaflets, rostrum of fruiting body 3-4 cm long.
The photo of the leaves is not good enough to determine whether they are dissected or have separate leaflets, and there is no measurement on the rostrum of the fruiting body. What was the length of the rostrum on the fruiting body?

The leaves are visible in the mid-right of the second image, I have added a crop of this as the forth image. I think that the leaves are clear enough in the crop, but I am going up past there tomorrow so could get a measurement if you think it is still necessary
