I nearly fell over my feet when I saw it! I was actually on my way to an SSI site near me and this was on the track about 150yrds from the fields full of Northern Marsh and Common Spotted orchids which are abundant....literally hundreds and hundreds :-)

I'm hoping to go and photograph them in the next couple of days.
