In Loughor, the White sticky catchfly (Silene viscosa) was in flower. In that location, had the first Twin spot quaker moth (Orthosia munda) of the year and what looked suspiciously like an alien Harlequin beetle (Harmonia axyridis). The spring-like sunshine also brought out many bumble bees along with a female solitary bee Andrena haemorrhoea, Cluster-flies (Pollenia rudis) and the hoverfly Melanostoma scalare. The weather, in Bynea and Penclacwydd, resulted in lots of Common field speedwell (Veronica persica) flowering. In Swansea, the Three-cornered leek (Allium triquetrum) fills the air with the smell of garlic.

It's great to see Spring-like weather finally arrive again.
'Tis indeed.
