Spotted a wax cap fungus (Hygrocybe sp) and a Common figwort (Scropularia nodosa) in Penclacwydd. In Bynea, Hairy St John's wort (Hypericum hirsutum) and Teasel (Dipsacus fullonum) were in flower. Vervain (Verbena officinalis) and Nipplewort (Lapsana communis) were blooming in Loughor whilst a Silver 'Y' moth (Autographa gamma) vibrated its wings.
