Irton Fell, Cumbria.
14/6/2026.
No luck on Monday to find Mountain Ringlets, but yesterday, with my 12-year-old grandson as chief 'spotter', we were rewarded with about 10 sightings, near the top.
U.K.species # 60, final one on the BC butterfly list

No Small but plenty of Silver-studded Blues today in Norfolk. Then down to the 'badlands' for a double whammy of Red-backed Shrike. 🤞 they can join up for the summer.

Sandwich: the true capital of the Lizard Orchid. Timing spot on, with hundreds of Lizards in full flower including some magnificent examples of the pale form - a lovely dusky green version with extremely limited purple colour #KentOrchids #wildflowerhour

After many years, I think I’ve finally captured a near-perfect image (for my liking) of a Lesser Twayblade!

“I think I’m greedy, but I’m not greedy for money – I think that can be a burden…I can find excitement, I admit, in raindrops falling on a puddle and a lot of people wouldn’t. I intend to have it exciting until the day I fall over.”
RIP David Hockney

5.6.2026. Yorkshire.
Pseudorchis albida.
A northern trip to fill in the gaps in my UK orchid inventory. I've seen these in the Dolomites, but not previously at home. Tiny plants, in perfect condition, well worth the journey.
