Orchids of Druridge Bay

To date these are the orchids I have photographed in the Druridge Bay area.
There's a pretty good selection considering the area is primarily a birding site and not many people
seem to be aware of some of these species. I'll not give exact locations of any of the species in my posts
but if anyone asks I'll consider any requests for help using private email.

Common Twayblade
Common Spotted
Marsh Fragrant
Bee
Lesser Butterfly
Northern Marsh
Early Purple

See pic attached of Lesser Butterfly. There were over 50 spikes of this stunning plant in 2007 -
the best ever haul for some years.

If you venture further afield in Northumberland there are many more species to be had and I'll be posting shots from other sites later on.
