I managed to get a rare couple of hours free today and so dashed out to see if I could find the famous lizard orchids of the Devils Dyke. I walked for several hours from Reach to the A14 crossing point. I managed to find quite a few Pyramidal Orchids, plus many other calcareous grassland plants, but no sign of the Lizard Orchids. It thought it was strange, perhaps I'd left it too late. When I got home I did a bit of googling and after about 5mins it became clear that I'd been looking in the wrong part of the 7.5 mile long earthwork. The place I should have looked is next to the Racecourse. I might get another chance this year but it is unlikely. At least I will know where to go next year!

Initially a record of my attempt to establish and manage a micro meadow in my back garden, this had expanded to include general musings and records about my garden and allotment projects, as well as examples of both my still and time lapse photographic projects.
