At this time of year there are normally a handful of southern marsh orchids flowering alongside the path. This year there are no horses in the field and there are several hundred orchids flowering in clusters across the field!
Kent Wildlife Trust has the Marden Meadow just down the road from us. They have 10s of 1000s of Green Winged orchids earlier in the year - typically early May - they are over now - also it's a SSSI with loads of ponds and wildlife.
It's a beautiful site - hardly anyone knows about it or goes there. It's an ancient "unimproved" hay meadow, i.e. it's never been tilled or artificially fertilised in 100s of years.
