Heath Spotted Orchid

I think this is the Heath Spotted Orchid (Dactylorhiza maculata) which we found when trying to avoid getting wet feet in a marshy part of Woodbury Common.  We decided to explore various parts of Woodbury Common, Hawkerland and Harpford Common a walk with some magnificent sea views and varied terrain.  There was however a fairly wet part along a bridleway, but I wouldn't have seen these orchids had we avoided it.  Now to rest my aching feet, I tried out my new walking boots, they aren't that comfortable.
