Chicken of the woods
Lots of these on Nettles
Dryads saddle
Orchids in the paddocks below High house wood
I have been walking locally through the Borough and High house woods. Lots of butterflies on the wing with Ringlets and Speckled wood. I have also had these species in the garden this week. Dry weather means a lack of fungi but plenty of the above species in the woods. At Abbey woods this morning there was a family party of Bullfinches.

That's a cracking patch of Orchids
Nigel, the bug looks like Calocoris stysi.
I`m in agreement, it`s just too dry.
Thanks for the comments and the id.
Looks like more hybrid orchids due to there size!
Bet it was on a former industrial site?
Thanks Dave...unusually the orchids found here are only Common spotted and Common Twayblade. The field is a paddock next to ancient woodland well away from the coalfield area so I'm not sure of their origin.
