As this is year 1 of my meadow management plan the main task is monitoring and I have been very pleasantly surorised at the diversity of flower species that I have spotted already. However I was astonished to find orchids. Initially I found a group of seven Common Spotted Orchids in the corner of the lower field which has been grazed in recent times and where the grass is short. I then surveyed the top field which has very long thatched grass and found a further five more orchids, again in one corner of the field.
