ID for Orchid please

(1/2) > >>

Seapy:
My son took this at Eskmeals on the sand dunes of the West Cumberland coast on 30 June this year.

Please can somebody ID it, I thought it might be some sort of Marsh Orchid but it doesn't match any photographs I have, nor the detail description.

A member of the Pea Family. Hard to tell which one as the foliage isn't clearly shown. Could be an Ononis.

Seapy:
Thank you Birna, much appreciated.  :D

Birna Rørslett:
Might be Ononis repens Common Restharrow, or one of its close relatives. They all occur on sand along the coastline.

Seapy:
I will get more images next year, it's a pretty flower, I thought it was an orchid from the flower, I am somewhat ashamed at my inability to recognise so few plants.  :(
