Seeing the Changes 5





Went to the cliffs near Port Eynon on 31st March 2007. The Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa) was in flower. Ther were also many Primroses (Primula vulgaris) and Alexanders (Smymium olusatrum) as well as Rock speedwell (Veronica fruticans) and Common dog violets (Viola riviniana). Many Bloody nosed beetles (Timarcha tenebricosa) were active in the grass.
