Went out with Drs Charles Hipkin and Dan Forman with their Ecology group to Fairwood Common and Broadpool on the Gower. The highlights for me were seeing the insectivorous Common sundew (Drosera rotundiflora), Cross-leaved heath (Erica tetralix), Heath bedstraw (Galium saxatile) and Tormentil (Potentilla erecta) in the former location. The two kinds of Cotton grass, Common (Eriophorum angustifolium) and Harestail (Eriophorum vaginatum) also made impressive displays. The introduced White waterlily (Nymphaea alba) was a very obvious problem in Broadpool.
