Good morning! Can one ever have too many Lady Orchids, we wonder? We think not! It's been a joy for our guests on our recent Spring Butterflies of Central & North Spain tour to regularly encounter these lovely flowers growing on roadside verges, and in field & woodland margins
There are still some spaces available on the two Kent orchid daytrips that @thenewgalaxy & @dunnjons will be leading for us on 1 & 2 June... great orchids and a great pub lunch are guaranteed! Full details & booking on our website. mariposanature.com/calendar

Pasqueflower (Pulsatilla vulgaris), showing off its downy stems and regal purple sepals. An arresting sight in a Cambs NNR this week. It’s a good thing I checked the book - 6 sepals, no petals. #wildflowerhour
Very interesting species seen in Teruel and Huesca with @Mariposa_Nature this past week. Erebia epistygne, Anthocharis euphenoides, Pseudophilotes panoptes and Boloria euphrosyne.
27/4/24 Dorset - I led my first home tour for @Mariposa_Nature this weekend. We made many great finds including reptiles and deer antlers as well as several fantastic plants, from peloric Spider #Orchids (Ophrys sphegodes) to Early #Gentians (Gentianella anglica) #wildflowerhour
Fantastic day on the Dorset coast with @Mariposa_Nature great guided walk with the excellent @thenewgalaxy highly recommend😁
Despite some challenging weather earlier today in the Spanish Pyrenees, we persevered on our Spring Butterflies of Central & N Spain tour, and finally got our just rewards - sunshine, orchids and butterflies! Highlights this afternoon many Lady Orchids, and smart Panoptes Blues.
One of several confiding Iberian Sooty Coppers enjoyed today by our guests on our Spring Butterflies of Central & Northern Spain tour. We're now in the Spanish Pyrenees for the next couple of days - looking forward to seeing what we find.

A marvellous start to our Spring Butterflies of Central & Northern Spain tour this afternoon, with good numbers of fresh Spring Ringlet and Berger's Clouded Yellow flying together over flowery hillsides. Happy guests, and happy tour leaders!
For just 5 more days donations made to our @BigGive #GreenMatchFund campaign will be DOUBLED up to £20,000! Butterflies and moths are facing declines across Northern Ireland, but with your help we can protect these incredible species for the future 👇 donate.biggive.org/campaign/a0569…
Our popular plant photography tour leader @sarah_cuttle is about to start a week-long tour in Tuscany. She's been out and about there lately and the fields are *full* of Lady Orchids. We can't wait to see the images she and her guests will be taking! youtu.be/Ruc_djiQ7uU

Was a nice excuse to catch up with this awesome mirrorless Early Spider #Orchid (Ophrys sphegodes). Reminds me of my hairline! #wildflowerhour

@Mariposa_Nature @marsh_eddie Yes, a fantastic photo of a wonderful bird!👍🙂
Absolute patch gold this morning at Dartford barrier - 20+ Arctic terns, 5 Black terns and a Black-necked grebe!
A Small Copper from yesterday in the Montes Universales with @Mariposa_Nature, and an Iberian Sooty Copper from last year at the same location. The former species often shows blue spots on the hindwing; it's a more infrequent aberration in the latter species.
80 species today at Swanscombe and Stoke lagoon including 3 Kittiwakes, several Med gulls, Red Kite, Purple Heron, Cuckoo, Hobby and Whimbrel. Non avian highlights included Man orchid, Hairy dragonfly and Emperor moth. With @BarryWright12.
