A wander round the fields produced a nice fluttering of butterflies - amongst them, Marbled Whites. Yes, my target species for the afternoon, but hardly showing well in the wind - certainly not the image I was looking for.
Next to throw itself in front of the camera was this Essex Skipper - like the previous species, I think this is the first time I've captured Essex Skipper in glorious pixelation (note the black 'ink pads' under the ends of the antenna - if you want to).
Lady's Bedstraw - we think. Not the best picture. But a common plant that should be known to us all - unless I've cocked the ID up! In which case it is something else entirely.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2DEeSlrJXP1vALIeQq6zrSgvvm0TsCgvIb982rAfDwua7nV4lXS0HNys9_CYjQFHAe84W0yrWrwrBhVFVKUZknbRB5kvlGxCIUxB9htDiF4Vmx9I-TowL55c1rGrPvoqDhLGv7Qijp9U/s320/Marsh+hell.JPG)
Marsh Helleborine - one of the nicest orchids, and certainly putting on a good showing at the moment.

Small Copper - trying to catch the last of the day's rays.
Last today was this wee snap of Southern Marsh Orchid. Not the best specimen: not the best picture. Will try harder next year!
