Searching for a locally rare Orchid species.
 |
| Yellow Bee Orchid (Ophrys lutea). |
I popped just up the road to Hacho where I did a short walk up through the lower Pine woods hoping to find a couple of spikes of
Ophrys dyris which usually flower right next to the track but as at so many sites these days the
Wild Boar (Jabalí / Felis silvestris) had pretty much destroyed the area and rooted everything out of the ground.
 |
| White Asphodel (Asphodelus macrocarpus). |
As I walked I did however find
Yellow Bee (Ophrys lutea) and
Mirror Orchids (Ophrys speculum),
White Asphodel (Asphodelus macrocarpus), Wild Grape Hyacinth (
Muscari neglectum), Star of Bethlehem (Ornithogalum baeticum), Southern Red Bartsia (Parentucellia latifolia),
Mallow-leaved Convolvulus (Convolvulus althaeoides),
Provence Orange-tip (Anthocharis euphenodes),
Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui),
Woodpigeon (Paloma Torcaz / Columba palumbus),
Short-toed Treecreeper (Agateador Común / Certhia brachydactyla),
Sardinian Warbler (Curruca Cabecinegra / Sylvia melanocephala),
Crested Tit (Herrerillo Capuchino / Parus cristatus),
Common Chaffinch (Pinzón Vulgar / Fringilla coelebs) and Bonelli's Warbler (Mosquitero Papialbo / Phylloscopus bonelli).
