A return trip to Swifts Hill, Gloucestershire, after work, to look again for Frog Orchid, hoping to find one in flower this time! Proved a good choice, but took quite a while. I could not find the one i had before, so kept looking, hard work......did find quite a few Common Fragrant Orchids during the search.

I had started to think about giving up, when i found some Small Blue butterflies, at the bottom of the hill.

No sign of any Lace Border moths, but i did find this Yellow Shell instead...
I decided to have one more walk up to the top of the hill, to try to find the plant we found last time, but still no luck, but i kept looking, and as i got to a big hollow in the hill, there it was!! Not the same one though, this was a new plant, and it was in flower too. Ah well success at last....
