These photos were taken at the site where members of the Australian Native Orchid Society (ANOS) found a new colony of the endangered Marsh Leek Orchid [Prasophyllum niphopedium].

They show:
* The Marsh Leek Orchid.
* Three of a mob of 9 horses moving off the site as we arrive.
* Two of these horses coming out of the trees to bellow and stamp at us as we continued to occupy their territory. The mob moved back when we left.
* Damage to one orchid.
* Horse dung near the damaged orchid
* The high degree of tramping, pugging, grazing, muddy pools and general muddy disturbance, on the site at which these orchids grow. The people in the pictures are looking at, or photographing, the Marsh Leek Orchids.
