Would agree with your ' Silver Y ? ' identification .
The ' great number of orchids seen ' is Common Spotted Orchid .
Help needed , I believe is the Southern Marsh Orchid .
Long-legged Spider is the Nursery Web Spider / Pisaura mirabilis .
Your first Black-tailed Skimmer could have been a female , but also could have been a male , as immatures of both sexes
are coloured the same , and the male's abdomen ' blues ' as they mature , the same with the Broad-bodied Chaser .
I would suggest a garden escape for the last shot , and possibly of the Geranium / Cranesbill family .

Cheers Greenie

Greenie Thanks for you comments, yesterday my wife and I took a trip to Haddon Hill Exmoor hoping to see the Heath Fritillary but without success, however Small Heaths were plentiful plus a few moths, we then took a very narrow back road to Tarr Steps, by chance I noted growing at the side of the road a  Geranium plant matching the one in the picture previous posted, consulting my Concise Flora in colour I found a possible match  (cranesbill) geranium sanguineum.
We continued to Tarr Steps, the staycationers were out in forch , onto Withypool and had lunch at the Royal Oak were R D Blackmoor wrote Lorna Doone,
 An exhausting and frustrating day nevertheless it was a beautiful day to visit Exmoor.

Hi, I think your long-legged Spider is a Tetragnatha sp.
