Yesterday, THIS happened in Anglesey!!!! The prettiest Orchid I have ever seen in the UK or Ireland, an absolute bobby dazzler. Having to stand with one foot each on separate tussocks, separated by deep muddy marsh, meant getting a photo was a bit wobbly, and at arm's length!

Excellent to see 2 potential new sites in North Kent where the Dainty Damselfly has been seen in the past few weeks, a mating pair 📷 at one site recently. Keep 👀 as there must be others out there. @BDSdragonflies @Britnatureguide @NatureUK @KentWildlife @BBCSpringwatch

Cirl Bunting at Dawlish warren was singing above my head nonstop as I was searching for Sand Crocus, to early in the Day for them to be open unfortunately.
