Flogging the the patch pays dividends now and again. I was counting the Northern marsh Orchids at Widdrington tip, 1218 spikes when I did a circuit around Stobswood and at the Northern end of the old brickworks just below the railway embankment were Dusky Cranesbill (Geranium phaeum) and Jacob's Ladder (Polemonium caerulum) in all their elegant glory. I know they are naturalised plants but two beautiful additions to the plant list.
Dusky Cranesbill
Jacob's Ladder
Lots of other stuff with Small Copper, Wall Brown and Speckled Wood numbering 10+ each, Red legged and Grey Partridge and a variety of Warblers including a few Garden and Sedge.
