  1. Here's a wider shot of a southern marsh, with (surprise, surprise) Southern Marsh Orchids. Oh, and cotton grass, naturally. When I spot a bit of bog like that, can't resist getting into the squelchy bits for a closer look.

  2. Friends coming round for dinner this evening, so posting a bit early for #WildflowerHour

    Not a flower yet, admittedly, but most botanical excitement this week was finding this Early Spider-orchid rosette at Durlston Country Park, first I've seen this year. There will be thousands of them in bloom in a few months. Nationally rare but locally abundant in #Purbeck, #Dorset, and very wonderful. A promise of spring.

  3. They are now grazing pigs (domestic, not wild) on the Purbeck Heaths. We came across this little family of them last night on the way back from birdwatching. They were very friendly; one of them (out of shot as he? stood beside me) was up for a rub and a scratch. We left the mummy and piglets alone, though they all trooped past the stopped car with no fear, mummy pushing right into the furze, snuffling around for whatever they eat out there. A wonderful encounter!

  4. And they're off! ... The Purbeck Early Spider-orchids are starting to flower. First the bud unfurls, and then before they fill out like a round spider-body, they're like Tellytubbies

  5. Returned from #Purbeck Valley #Folk #Festival yesteday.

    Such a lovely little festival - tempted to buy early bird tickets for next year tomorrow!

    And the view from the campsite of #CorfeCastle, which in fairness hasn't photographed very well in this one, is stunning IRL. #Sunset #Photography

  6. What a fabulous way to end the weekend - Seth Lakeman on stage at the Big Barn. Superb. Every time. Superb. What a musician.

  7. I’ve only ever been to one Music Festival. This is my fourth year. Every year these two have been here and I’m still not sure how I feel about them. Are they narcissistic, attention seeking people or are they just ahead of everyone else in being able to express themselves? You decide. I’m too scared to ask them πŸ˜ƒ

    The music has been top notch. The people lovely. Purbeck Valley Folk Festival. #PVFF #PurbeckValleyFolkFestival #Purbeck #Dorset #LiveMusic #sunday

  8. Staying local this year and heading to the #Purbeck Valley #Folk #Festival this weekend.

    This will be our first time at this one. First time at a new festival is always special so very much looking forward to it.

  9. @rlcj
    Evening walk on the #Purbeck Heaths just over a year ago. May be able to make out #CorfeCastle in the distance. Heard a nightjar churring. Hope they get you better soon

  10. Skylarks singing above Dancing Ledge #Purbeck and Early Spider Orchids beginning to show @DorsetAONB

  11. Bee Orchid rosette - one of several - this afternoon in a #Purbeck churchyard. Similar to Early Spider Orchid rosettes, which are abundant round here, but they are smaller and have more like 6-8 leaves
