Day 160 - June 9th

Today we went out in search of wild orchids.

In the past, on our regular walk, we have seen Bee Orchids at this time of year. We were really thrilled this year to also spot two Common Spotted Orchids. This is the most common of all UK orchids but we had never seen one before today. 



The flowers were so pretty in shades of lilac


We did also spot the Bee Orchids. Today we saw the more we have ever seen before. It must be a good year for them because in a short stretch of footpath we spotted 40-50 flowers.
