Common Twayblade / neottia ovata. Hartslock NR, Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. 31/05/18.

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.
