The wild flowers of Druridge Bay








Flashback to earlier this summer when I was lucky enough to take part in a guided walk around Druridge Bay and Hauxley Nature reserve with the Northumberland Wildlife Trust.


We ummed and ahhed about umbellifers, looked through a lens at tiny trefoils and were privileged to get a birds eye view of the stunning Lesser Butterfly Orchids. It seems anomalous that there is a colony there but the guide explained the little patch of land they live on is lucky to have survived intact after previous opencasting.




Here's a link to my Flickr photo album from the day:
