I thought I would have another go at finding Frog Orchids at Minera Quarry in North Wales. Unfortunately without reliable directions this is a rather daunting task given the size of the quarry – and yet again I drew a blank. However, plenty of Marsh Fragrant, Common Spotted and Pyramidal Orchids were present. I also found a very good stretch of grasses that was full of Ringlets. A single Redstart flew across my path as I was orchid hunting.
