Seeing the Changes 197












Lots of marine life around Burry holms including a sea cucumber (Labidoplax digitata) and a washed up jellyfish. Under-sized Sea bass (Dicentarchus labrax) were biting. On the land, there were masses of Thrift (Armeria maritima), Bladder campion (Silene vulgaris), Kidney vetch (Anthyllis vulneraria), Spring squill (Scilla verna), Germander speedwell (Veronica chamaedrys) and Bloody cranesbill (Geranium sanguineum). There were lesser quantities of Burnet rose (Rosa pimpinella) and Stone bramble (Rubus saxatilis) in flower. Lots of European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) activity in the dunes.
