A new colony of #BeeOrchids located on the reserve at #WWTCastleEspie this week!
We’ve only ever had these beautiful #flowers in ones and twos but this year; twelve plants and counting 😎
Luckily they’re away from the paths so they won’t need extra protection and can bloom in peace 👍
Seems likely they are more "flighty" in the spring and early summer when the flowers are a bit sparser. But if you're patient you'll eventually come across one feeding calmly.

This #GreaterSpottedWoodpecker#nestling has figured out that the food comes from outside the hole, it just hasn’t plucked up the courage to go find it…

Something about #ferns & raindrops falling on still #waters, that instantly brings calming, #peaceful energies to my soul. #Nature provides many free to access & free to absorb, #HealingPowers 🙏💗
Lots of tiny common #froglets emerging from the #ponds at #WWTCastleEspie. These were no larger than 1cm.
