Market Weston Fen and local Orchids

Mid morning, this Red Admiral was on the flowering Lilac bush in front of the kitchen window. I took a trip to Market Weston Fen in the hope of seeing and photographing Marsh Fritillaries, there had been 8 seen during the week so very disappointed to see no butterflies save for 1 Peacock. Always a nice site to visit though and compensation came in the form of a constantly calling Cuckoo revealed itself in a distant tall tree and another Cuckoo was seen on a tall tree on the other side. I did also however spot 3 flowering Early Marsh Orchids and obtained my best pics to date of this species plus rosettes of Southern Marsh and Spotted Orchids. By the entrance bridge, 2 Sedge Warblers were seen close by in the reeds and a Moorhen vacated her nest revealing 2 eggs, so I made a hasty exit. Finally a Scorpion Fly settled on the roof of my car as I was parked by Market Weston Fen. A look locally following a tip off from Jane F and I saw 4 Broad- Leaved Helleborines sprouting, (one was caged) plus the rosette of a Spotted Orchid too. I put sticks around them to protect them from being munched by Muntjacs, or accidently trampled. (I have e-mailed the powers that be so they will soon be caged) I saw a Muntjac in a field as I was exiting the wood. Nearby 3 Green- winged Orchids were seen plus 6 Common Twayblades (4 caged). A stop off by a roadside verge at a now traditional site (somewhere in deepest Norfolk) I was pleased to count 8 flowering spikes of Early Purple Orchids, a pity I had left it so late to admire them (mainly because of the RFF influx locally) as they were a week- 10 days past their best. [POSTSCRIPT: The Lacewing was actually a Scorpion Fly, thanks to Jane F for correcting me, I have now subsituted that into the above text].
