Maryport SSSI and small blues

Good to see so many small blues flying at Maryport this morning...and some common blues.  The northern marsh orchids are very stunted - drought and burnt on one side from the wind last week. There's no sign of any pyramidal orchids or bee orchids and given how dry it is they may not appear. There were some broomrapes coming into flower though.

The SSSI is looking pretty dry!

Common blues.

Maryport looking more like  the south of France than Cumbria!
