Seeing the Changes 185








In Oxwich, there was lots of hoverfly (Melanostoma scalare) and sand-nesting wasp activity. Bynea, Red clover (Trifolium pratense) was coming into flower and Common green shield bug (Palomina prasina) was siphoning on the nettles. In Loughor, Helophilus pendulus was about, along with the first Two-spot ladybird (Adalia bipunctata) of the year. In Llangennith, yellow Wild pansy (Viola tricolor) dotted the dunes and a ground beetle scuttled about.

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