Southern Marsh Orchid.
Today we were at the relatively new site (for us) of Turvills Field, Totland. This site is managed by Gift to Nature and there were several jobs for us to do. Two clumps of invasive bamboo were removed which took quite a bit of effort with a mattock. The resulting bamboo canes were processed for use and the brash was left for G2N to dispose of. There was also some scrap metal that had to be dug out and disposed of. Habitat piles were made from the large quantity of cut wood left lying about by the tree surgeons. There were also piles of woodchip left as a result of the tree felling - this was raked up and used to enhance part of the main path.
It was a beautiful day and the flora and fauna of the site put on a lovely show - there were a lot of orchids in flower - thought to be Southern Marsh Orchids. There were plenty of butterflies enjoying the sunny glades and a jay was also spotted.
Many thanks to Alison for the editorial and Terry for taking the photographs 👍.
