Twayblade time

Twayblades are out both at Pentwyn and New Grove and for me they are a particularly beautiful orchid. They seem plentiful at New Grove this year.

Burnet Companion

I haven't tried to identify any moths yet but a day-flying moth flew into view yesterday so I can now record my first moth species. No photograph I'm afraid, as it had disappeared by the time I got my camera, but it was a Burnet Companion (Euclidia glyphica)whose larval foodplants include Bird's Foot Trefoil of which there is plenty in our fields.
