On another walk this morning, orchids were abundant in the Heathland.



I believe these are Common Spotted Orchids.
The Meadow Pipit is a small, brown, and streaky bird; they look very much like a small song thrush.

Liverworts are small flowerless plants with leaf-like lobes called a thallus. There were large numbers growing along the stream we walked along.

Common Frog and tadpoles

Male Reed Bunting.

The main highlight of the walk was a family of Redstart.
1st pictures are the male bird, followed by the female, then finally the juvenile.









What a lovely walk that was and how fantastic to see that family of redstarts. I think that’s a heath spotted orchid, Andy, although I’m no expert.

This was a nice walk with all those birds, especially the Redstart family. I like the close-up of the frog and the wild Orchid is gorgeous.
