Orchids in east Kent - photos
(NB - for those looking for the Little Auk / Gyr Falcon image - click here)
In the absence of any good birds to talk about on Shetland, and being acutely aware that the orchid season is in full swing in the south of England, now seems like as good a time as any to put some of my orchid photos from east Kent on here. They were taken during the 90's at several locations in east Kent (none of which I'm going to reveal, as plant-collectors are just as rapacious as egg-collectors, and there's no point in making their life any easier).
Some are unashamedly 'arty' (the Green-winged Orchid and White Helleborine for example), but none of them are anything I'm too ashamed of; not bad for an old manual focus camera and no macro. Apologies if you're viewing this without broadband, as the pictures will probably take some time to download. I think they're worth the wait though. High res prints are of course available (£2.50 each) - just contact me via this site!
