Early Purples

Unfortunately I managed to leave my camera at home today, but counted 18 Early Purple Orchids in the road verge at Kneesall Wood, and another 23 at Kirton Wood. At the latter site, the Variegated Yellow Archangel looks to have been all but eradicated following treatment by NWT; I pulled the final few plants up. No Marsh Tits though.

Then it was to the patch, where the best were 5 Ringed Plovers and a Common Sand on Mons Pool, but not much else; earlier I'd seen 4 Swifts over Wellow, and a couple more over Newark. Still none over Collingham though.
