Beautiful Greater Butterfly orchids at Porth Meudwy. 10 spikes counted, about half of them flowering.

Early-Purple Orchids from Porth Meudwy this morning looking spectacular. Whitethroats were everywhere, providing a nice soundtrack. Other things in thread below. #wildflowerhour

A lot of pied flycatchers at Gwaith Power WWT this morning, as well as a calling Cuckoo, green woodpecker and a garden warbler. Also interestingly was the bog beacon fungus Mitrula paludosa, probably the best place in North Wales to see this species.
Green winged orchid at Pwllheli this morning with an abundance of cowslips/briallu mair also on display+ a reeling grasshopper warbler and other common warblers. A lot of hirundines as well.
Cowslip growing amongst hordes of other wildflowers in a former arable field near Porth Meudwy, as well as an orange tip and bloody cranesbill down the valley + a Wall butterfly from the garden.
