Seeing the Changes 557

Not exactly a typical Spring but, in Bynea, things were getting underway with Cuckoo flower (Cardamine pratensis), Round leaved cranesbill (Geranium rotundifolium), Ribwort plantain (Plantago lanceolata), Spanish bluebell (Endymion hispanicus), Flowering ash (Fraxinus ornus) and a white umbellifer coming into flower. In Loughor, there was the first appearance of Alexanders (Smyrnium olusatrum), Lords and ladies (Arum maculata) and the first reasonable sized moth.
