Despite the early morning weather (cool and light drizzle) this was hopefully going to be the day when I finally saw the Burnt Orchids on Mount Caburn. Armed with reliable guidance as to their whereabouts I set off early to Glynde, parked in the usual place, and walked purposefully up Mount Caburn. Soon all was revealed. I had forgotten how small they were, having only previously seen them once before on Beachy Head – and then only two plants. Here there were maybe a hundred or more. Despite the weeks of dry weather they seemed to be doing pretty well and clearly were at their peak. Another day to remember!
