We had a good Langdyke walk around the reserve on Wednesday night - 12 visitors in total and a nice, if breezy evening.
The highlights of the walk were the discovery of a colony of 50 or so pyramidal orchids in the north west corner along the road side. Last year there were a couple of spikes here so to see such an increase over 12 months is pretty impressive.
We also saw a pair of red crested pochard, 2 little ringed plover and were serenaded throughout by skylark over head!
Yesterday Richard Keymer and Carry Akroyd found a peregrine falcon sitting on the mud in the mid-afternoon on the reserve!
