Tongue Orchids in Essex

On Friday 28th June, driving to X in Essex, after receiving excellent directions from Chris L and Jane F. I found the road turned right into it and parked up near the dumped farm machinery and went through the gate into a big meadow divided by a hedge half way back on meeting that I walked 20 yards north and by a flattened area I followed a small path for 10 yards before coming to the area barely 2 metres square where I counted at least 17 excellent Tongue Orchids or Serapias. Some had gone over but there a few lips in good flower which were well worthy of some pics. I had to use flash as it was cloudy.
