It’s that time of year and the Bee Orchids are in bloom, but with this wind and rain they won’t last long. Attached are two Google maps identifying two areas, one on top of the old Vickers tip where there are a few tall examples, easy to find and the other is also easy to find but the flowers are on the other side of the Airfield fence, right of Gate 4.
Before this rain arrived I had a good run placing a moth trap in the garden, unfortunately, up to present, it has not been very productive, but on the last trap there was a Swallow Prominent, not uncommon but it was my first, and quite striking, see photo attached.
