The orchids are out

One of the joys of walking in the field at Hatton in June is watching the wild flowers appearing.   The field is full of buttercups and lots of other wild flowers just now.  But it is always something special when I spot the first of the wild orchids, as I did yesterday .   The dark purple flowers are now starting to appear, pushing up through the grass.   I think these are Northern Marsh Orchids, but I will be delighted if someone can correct me.
