I have been busy counting Common Spotted Orchids and protecting them from rabbits and I noticed that one looked different. It turns out to be a species I had not recorded before - a Heath Spotted Orchid (Dactylorhiza maculata). That makes three species Common Spotted, Heath Spotted and Broad-leaved Helleborine. I am up to a total of 102 Orchids versus 123 last year but there is a good chance that I will reach last year's total over the next couple of weeks.
