| |  yeoman hey reservoir wander
just a quick tootle round today, at Yeoman Hey reservoir in the moors above Greenfield in Saddleworth, lots to see, just a few with pics!
Mainly I wanted to see a personal fave - bog asphodel in bloom, utterly gorgeous flower!
Plus loads of orchids, fairy flax, etc etc and a portent of august purple, cross leaved heath and bell heather in bloom too. Lovely! 
That'll do for now, dont want everyone going. 
Cheers
Ken

Great post Ken! how come I never see half of this stuff when I go out there lol. Great to see a Stonechat! when I went up a couple of months ago I saw at least 5, so they must be doing well this year.
