The following three were all seen on Wednesday at the RSPB Insh Marshes reserve. As well as an RSPB reserve, it's a National Nature Reserve and a fantastic place for all sorts of wildlife including moths, butterflies and wild flowers. I'd recommend a visit if you're ever in the area. On Wednsday I saw 5 species of Orchid there, Northern Marsh and Greater Butterfly as well as the three below. Heath Spotted Orchid ![]() Heath Fragrant Orchid ![]() Small White Orchid

I've had a look and apologies if I'm missing the obvious, but does this include grasses, ferns, horsetails and clubmosses? If it does, I've got 4 of them I could upload as well. |

All look great to add Pam but i can't find any images for Fiddledock with yellow flowers. It might be worth submitting that one on the id thread Pam....only because i'm not particularly good with flowers and someone else might be able to confirm. |
