this year's spring visit to Estonia is coming to an atmospheric end
last night our group headed out onto the bogs of Soomaa, where lekking Great Snipe bounced and a Lynx casually sauntered across the track...
#WildlifeTravelling at it's best
Blaming a 4am start to the day, I should of course have written Military Orchid Orchis militaris!!
Surveying the wonderful Upwood Meadows NNR at the weekend - very excited to refind Heath-grass, last recorded from the site by renowned botanist Terry Wells in 1996!
Other highlights were sheets of Saw-wort and Dropwort, and several areas of Sulphur Clover

As there's an #orchid theme going on this evening, I thought I'd share four stunning species seen on the recent @wildlifetraveller.bsky.social Transylvania holiday that I led - intensely purple Green-winged-orchid, Three-toothed Orchid, Monkey Orchid and a very stately Sword-leaved Helleborine
For the #wildlowerhour #OrchidChallenge orchids seen on an early morning walk to Castor Hanglands NNR, including Early Marsh-orchid, Common Spotted-orchid and a couple from the infinitely variable hybrid swarm...with an accompanying soundtrack of Nightingales...
