Tried an early start in the garden yesterday, the light was really nice. Also tried out a new hidey hole, the same bush, but the other side. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze, but the birds seem more relaxed!

    I spent a morning in May at a local meadow, photographing these beautiful native orchids.

The Green-winged orchid is one of around…
