Seeing the Changes 90










Had the first male Holly blue (Celestrina argiolis) of the year visit the garden in Loughor. At Oxwich, Wild pansy (Viola tricolor), Small rest harrow (Ononis reclinata), Kidney vetch (Anthyllis vulneraria), Cowslip (Primula veris), Bur forgetmenot (Lappula squarrosa) and Moutain pennycress (Thlaspi perfolitum) were flowering. Lots of Viviparous lizard (Lacerta vivipara) were basking and lots of brown flying click beetles (Agrypnus murina) and cricket nymphs hanging around the vegetation.
