Growing down steep gully in sandtone cliffs around Aberdour Bay, North Sea facing. Had to take photo with zoom from base of the cliffs - too steep to get near.  Orchids by Wabi Gallery, on Flickr |

They are Northern Marsh by the looks of it.

Quite possibly, but Dactylorhiza species are notorious for hybridization so I'd like to see a more close up photo, but appreciate Nelly hasn't got one.

It doesn't look quite right colour or shape-wise for Northern Marsh, but I've seen a few Dactylorhiza hybrids with that sort of colour and shape. I agree with aeshna5, without a close up Dactylorhiza sp is the best we can do. Nelly, you'll have to learn to abseil and try again next year.  |
