Common Twayblade
Painted lady
Bush vetch
Dandelion clocks!
Germander (I think) speedwell
Such an important meadow plant, Yellow rattle
No shortage of it here!
I am assuming this is just a very dark Heath spotted orchid...

I walked through the field we call Wigwam II to look for the Common Twayblades. They flower on a slope near the cliff-edge. It was difficult to know where to step for fear of treading on them. Bracken is beginning to encroach on the slope so we need to keep that in check, or we will lose them. They have reappeared in this field as a result of our grazing regimes, as there weren't any when the fields were grazed all summer without a grazing break.
