RE: trevella lake

What a beautiful place ,Wayne - and I love your pics.

Do you think the orchid might be the Common Spotted Orchid. There are so many of these beauties and they do tend to look very similar.

hi cetti
Don't think they're common spotted as they have no spots on the leaves, we have hundreds of this particular species all around the lakes and even other areas away from the lakes.

cheers

Hi cetti, but you cant see the leaves from the photo so your educated guess was correct i would have said the same as you from the photo.

cheers.

hi cetti
thanks for the id on the moth, thought it may have been a hawkmoth and looked on uk moths website but still managed to miss the eyed hawkmoth cheers. Phragmites australis is also known as the common reed, It grows to about 2m high it can be fairly invasive if not kept in check. It is also a great natural filtration system for lakes, streams and rivers etc as it absorbs great amounts of nutrients that leach into the water from the surrounding catchment area
