22nd June |
High Heath.
Overcast with heavy rain most of the day. |
Heavy rain has caused fair damage to the flowers. Heath Speedwell on the left and Ragged(er) Robin on the right.
|
Two more colour variants of the Common Spotted Orchid.
|
What appears to be a fungal rust on Yellow Rattle. |
And a specimen that requires a bit of attention. The top-left part of the leaf would appear to show the entry point of a leaf mine, but the whole 'mine' is devoid of frass (dung). The image shows a spreading fungal infection of the leaf. The pale spots are raindrops on the camera lens. |
Two flies on Common Spotted Orchid. Melanostoma scalare on the left
and a tiny (5mm) Robber Fly on the right.
|
Finally, a very cute blunt-petalled version of the Common Spotted Orchid.
