It is simple to undergo from ‘tunnel imaginative and prescient’ when trying to find a selected hen or insect: you have a tendency to not discover the wild flowers you are strolling previous (and generally by!) At Warham Camp, although, that is not normally the case, as a result of the chalk banks and enclosed meadow are a such a feast of color and scent. The predominant species among the many numerous grasses are Ragwort, Tansy, Subject Scabious, Satan’s Bit Scabious and Relaxation Harrow with giant clumps of Marjoram and Thyme. There have been a number of ‘gone over’ orchid spikes after we visited on Wednesday: I feel these had been Pyramidial Orchids, however I discovered no less than one Helliborine. Better of the lot, IMHO, had been the spectacular Autumn Gentians: positively Alpine!
