Am i right to get excited i have found bee orchids growing in the field where i graze my horse.The field is about three acres near Woodham ferrers village up the hill from south woodham. I use electric fencing to limit grazing to a small area during spring and summer and then let my horse eat it off in the winter. How widespread is it in essex ? and should i do anything to protect it?
