In Oxwich, Agrimony (Agrimonia eupatoria) and Meadowsweet (Filipendula ultmaria) were photographed down by the marsh. Six-spot burnet moths (Zygaena filipendulae) buzzed around the Ragwort, along with a cuckoo bee (Epeolus cruciger) and a slim hoverfly (possibly Melanostoma scalare). Lots of Great green bush crickets (Tettigonia veridissima) on the dunes, a male Thereva annulata fly and a Grayling (Hipparchia semele) butterfly. Some nice shots of Small skippers (Thymelicus flavus) and Small blues (Cupido minimus) were obtained. Lots of grasshopper activity in the dunes (e.g. this Slender groundhopper Tetrix subulata) as well as Snakelocks (Anemonia viridis) and Beadlet (Actinia equina) anemones in the rock pools. Lots of large, often dead, Common spider crab (Maja squinado) were washed up. In Loughor, visited by a Pebble hooktip (Drepana falcataria) moth and a weevil (Otiorhynchus clavipes).
