Cors Bodeilio today. So many orchids, I wasn’t always sure what I was looking at! This one’s unmistakable - the rare fly orchid (Tegeirian y Clêr):
Anyone got any ideas about these two?

Spotted this before the rain came. Had a lot of them this year in my (largely unmowed) garden, nice to hear them calling back and forth

Spider warning! (in case you really don’t like spiders …)

Was clearing some rubble in my garden today and found a new friend (Mr Llyffant). Felt guilty disturbing his hidey hole so I’ve made him a new one. Hopefully he likes it
