Getting ready for the birdwatch I thought I'd tidy up my photos.
I took this (http://www.flickr.com/photos/40634294@N06/8416866720/) last July in the woods at RSPB Sandy.
I think this might be a Bugle but I'm really not sure.
Any ideas folks?

I can't remember its name but it's a fairly common weed plant (but then a weed is only a plant in the wrong place)
If its a weed, its a very pretty weed.
It looks like orchis mascula-wild orchid
Think it's a Self Heal.

Perfect. Self Heal it is.
Thanks Plowter, thank you all for your help
Yes, self heal (I never knew its name!) http://wildflowerfinder.org.uk/
Yes, definitely 'selfheal'. I get this growing in my lawn but I don't regard it as a weed, because it all adds to the diversity, or rich tapestry, if you like.

The flowers are similar to that of bugle, but the leaves are less rounded and less glossy

Thanks Chipchopper
