Seeing the Changes 94










In Bynea, Common cleavers (Galium aparine) and Sea beet (Beta vulgaris) were in flower. Large white butterflies (Pieris brassicae) were also active along with the Orange tips. In Loughor, the Horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) was fully in bloom (or even futher along) and was joined by the Field rose (Rosa arvensis), Creeping cinquefoil (Potentilla heptaphylla) and the Ramping fumitory (Fumaria capreolata). Bramble (Rubus fruticosus) and Bittersweet (Solanum dulcamara) flower buds were about to pop. In Bynea, there was what looks like a variant on a nettle.

Noted a Curlew ( Numenius arquata ) on the Loughor estuary at Bynea.
