GREATER BUTTERFLY ORCHIDS



I visited Dancersend mid day as part of my BBS and although nothing unusual to report birdwise, at least 5 DUKE OF BURGUNDY were on the wing. Only 3 Greater Butterfly Orchids were in flower, but numerous were in the latter stages of bud so hopefully in the next 2 weeks there should be a good showing. The Fly Orchids in the wood and the paddocks were past their best and Common Spotted Orchids not yet out.


Also at College Lake the White Helleborines are probably at their best currently (David Bilcock)
