Seeing the Changes 186




The Ash (Fraxinus excelsior), in Bynea and Loughor, is coming into leaf and to flower. The sudden addition of rain in this location, has encouraged Common grey field slugs (Deroceras reticulatum) to fall on the numerous Dandelion (Taraxacum spp) in a feeding frenzy. In Clyne Valley, the Marsh marigold (Caltha palustris) is in bloom.
