22nd Spring walk on hot pm at Pilch Field SSSI BBOWT Reserve.Early showing of Green winged orchids, with cowslips. Many more to come.. Cowslips and orchids all short steamed this year. Adders Tongue, an atypical fern, just starting to appear along edges of ridges. At the break of slope in the big field to left walking downhill, the damp slope has great array of Marsh Valerian, proving its Locally “common”. It’s a pale pink flower head, about the size of scabious and has both male and female flower heads on separate plants.. Its worth taking a hand lens to be sure what’s what. King cups seem to have expanded their territory over the rushy area to left of the break of slope. Nearby, there are willow and other trees in the old agricultural pond, now full of silt and soil, Jo Clinch and I were very surprised to see 5 birds fly off – possibly fieldfare – which were also seen during the very hot spell about a month ago by Julian and Anne Lambley, Ann Biggins and myself on two occasions. Rather late for fieldfare – but what else would they be?
Special flowers later in the year include Southern Marsh orchid at end of ridge and furrow to right of large patches of Ragged Robin (20-40 Plants) Late June to early July.
Milkwort in Little Pilch on dry slope just across the very boggy patch. Dropwort and pepper saxifrage are local to just the top left area of Little Pilch and are quite special in JULY AND August and September have a lot of scabious and Spiney Restharrow.. (Jenny Mercer)
