A late evening trip to Gomm's Wood Local Nature Reserve, nr Penn. Spotted a solitary bee orchid, a few pyramidal orchids and common spotted orchids in their hundreds. All within a 5 minute walk of the car park. Bee orchids have been fairly elusive this past couple of years due to the dry springs we're having. So chuffed to spot this little beauty.
