I finally found a Bee Orchid ... haven't seen or blipped one for five years! Went to Clints Quarry nr Egremont where I last saw them and actually saw two in the same place as before. They are quite small and hard to find but I kept telling myself en-route that I would find them! I remember meeting a lady there last year and she told me that she'd seen them there towards the end of June, so success. Shame there were only two though. Its a lovely place for wildflowers and a haven for the Common Spotted Orchid. I always think of it as a wildflower retreat. Afterwards stopped off at Longlands Lake but not very good for Misty to paddle in. We did walk right around the lake though and took a few photos. Afterwards went to a nature reserve which has a wildflower meadow. Lots of the Common Spotted Orchids but didn't see any Butterfly Orchids this year. As it was quite hot did a little detour to Bassenthwaite where Misty was so very happy to have a swim, a good way for her to cool off. Collage in extras.
