Orchid spotting in Tentsmuir NNR, in Fife, thought it might be a heath spotted orchid, any help with identification appreciated.

I think we have here

Common Field Speedwell, Veronica persica, though it lacks the smaller white lower lip of that species so .

Barren Strawberry, Potentilla sterilis; always early at this location in an ancient holloway.

Lesser Stitchwort, Stellaria graminea, insanely early in my experience hereabouts.

But just nearby, there are some seed heads on a plant I can't ID. I thought one had basal lvs but think it may be a trick.

I thought these were Willow at first, then I saw the berries! I think they're Wild Privet (Ligustrum vulgare). Seen near the Kingfisher Bridge,

Three similar little flowers. Reasonably ok with
Wild Marjoram - Origanum vulgare. The maybe Black Horehound - Ballota nigra? The last one which I should know, maybe Betony? Let's see what the oracle says. @Sussex_Botany
