Wiltshire 9 May

I had a few days away near Cheltenham and on my way home stayed a night in Devizes.   Just before reaching Devizes I visited a small nature reserve on Morgan's Hill, near Cherhill.   An enthusiastic photographer was also there and between us we found a Chalkhill Blue Butterfly and at least one type of Orchid.   I'm pretty sure one is a Pyramidal Orchid but I'm not sure the one with spots on it is the same.   It seems too dark for a Common Spotted Orchid though.   Perhaps someone will tell me........   There might even be three different Orchids!

Back Posting Again

At last I can post some more images.   Perhaps I shall fill in the gaps, but if not, it's good to have been out with a camera when walking Boo this morning.   We went to Bottisham Lock and saw a respectable range of wildlife - birds in the main.   It is always a joy to see Grey Wagtails and Swallows are more plentiful now.   They do seem to enjoy a telegraph wire...   I had seen an earlier Banded Damselfly but not to photograph.
