Well marching might be a slight exaggeration, maybe limping would be a better description. I'm referring to Suffolks only colony of
Military Orchids at the Rex Graham Reserve near Mildenhall. Sadly this years open day is slightly late and most of the numerous plants were well past their best. At least
20 Common Twayblades were also seen together with
Black-tailed Skimmer, Emperor Dragonfly and the first
Large Skippers of the year.
A walk later at West Stow CP had us marvelling at the largest numbers of
Banded Demoiselles I've ever seen and plenty of
Common Blue Damselflies along the River Lark. Trying to get some photographs wasn't easy though! My 1st
Small Heaths of the year were also out.
