Common Twayblade / neottia ovata. Hartslock NR, Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. 31/05/18.
Although I had seen Common Twayblade before in other parts of the country, they were still a pleasing find on my 'orchid twitch' in late May..
It was convenient that a small colony at Hartslock were growing in an accessible place with plenty of light. This helped to enliven the easily overlooked green flowers and make their citric green, notched lips really stand out.

The common moorhen, also known as the waterhen or swamp chicken, is a bird species in the rail family. It is distributed across many parts of the Old World. The common moorhen lives around well-vegetated marshes, ponds, canals and other wetlands.
Despite its common name, only male specimens of common blue butterfly (Polyommatus icarus) can accurately be described as blue; the females are predominately gray-brown, with only a dusting of blue and a scattering of orange spots. The adults live for only three weeks before dying.
One of a series of shots of common kingfishers, (Alcedo atthis). These were photographed from the North Marshes hide at Tophill Low nature reserve in East Yorkshire, UK. There is quite a lot of vegetation growing at the edges of the water, making a clear view a little tricky at this time of year and the distance from the hide to the nearest likely perches is a bit further than some of the other hides at the reserve, but this was where the kingfishers were favouring when I visited last week.
