Early Purple Orchid
My so-very-nearly-ready home renovation has been swallowing up all my time and the wildlife-friendly garden is already showing a promising diversity of nature. Today I saw a partridge strutting on my summer house roof, doves, a pheasant, swallows, house martins as well as sparrows and other hedgerow finches. Also a couple of white and comma butterflies flitted past the new native hedgerow…
This was one of very few occasions I’ve been out with my camera, late in the day on I spontaneously visited Foxley wood nature reserve for the lovely bluebells there. This contextual Early Purple Orchid photo is an even rarer occurence – that of a wildflower image taken without my 180mm macro on my camera.
