It's that time of year again when the Autumn Lady's Tresses are appearing on the short grassy slopes of the Purbeck coastline. It's the last of the British Orchids to flower, but it's also one I enjoy seeing. I saw just under two hundred today on the Southern slopes of Ballard Down, without making any attempt to thoroughly count them.
Autumn Lady's Tresses are a species I always associate with Autum migrants: so where are the birds?
