Seeing the Changes 111

In spite of the cold, the wind and the rain (where is the summer?) plant life in Bynea carries on with Small-flowered evening primrose (Oenothera cambrica), Great willowherb (Epilobium hirsuitum) and Common sea lavender (Limonium vulgare) coming into flower. Many of the first fruits are also appearing with Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides), Bramble (Rubus fruticosus), Elder (Sambucus nigra) and Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) much in evidence. An emerging Slow worm (Anguis fragilis) became a road casualty.
