Day 173 - June 22nd

This evening Wayne and I went for a walk over the fields in search of wild orchids.

This year we went on our hunt a bit later in the month than in other years and whilst the orchids weren't plentiful, we did manage to spot one or two.

The Bee Orchids were certainly past their best and the ones we did find had been almost smothered by grasses and difficult to photograph.

We also spotted a Common Spotted Orchid, although once again it was past its best.
