Seeing the Changes 70






The first appearance of the year of the weird Plume moth (Emmelina monodactyla) in Loughor! No sign of action yet from the twig but Horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) leaves are appearing and the Common dog violet (Viola riviniana) is in flower. In Bynea, a white umbellifer probably Hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium) and Common field speedwell (Veronica persica) are in flower. In Llanelli, the tadpoles of the Common frog (Rana temporaria) are swimming.
