Swansea Bee Orchids

From Tom: A fantastic day exploring east Swansea towards the River Neath, which was so packed it is going to be split into three separate posts.

Bee orchids are fairly rare in and around Swansea, and aren't as common as the swathes of them in the Gower dunes, most notably Oxwich NNR. They are supposedly in the dunes by the Swansea Marina, but after three searches this year, I was pleased to finally find some this year, albeit slightly further afield. 

The verges around Bay Studios and Amazon are full of fantastic flora, including pyramidals, but the real treat were the bee orchids.

Large emerald, found in the verge early morning.
