Notes
A few Bee Orchids were found in 2001 in a low-grassy area some 100m. down on the right from the stable gate, in Area 2. They persisted for a couple of years, but the grass became quite long and luxurient and they disappeared.

A few more specimens were found some years later at the top edge of Area 5. 2016 seemed to be a good year for this species as 29 were reported (Nick Croft) in various locations.
