Seeing the Changes 550

A sudden splurg of plant activity with the leaves of the Horse chestnut (Aeaculus hippocastanum) emerging and Common whitlow-grass (Erophila verna), Dandelion (Taraxacum sp) and  Bell heather (Erica cinerea) in flower in Loughor. Also spotted a Small totoiseshell (Aglais urticae) in flight there. In Bynea, Red dead nettle (Lamium purpureum) and  a member of the Cherry (Prunus sp) family were in flower.
