Seeing the Changes 194

The Gwenffrwd-Dinas RSPB Reserve revealed Wood sorrel (Oxalis acetoselia) in flower along with lots of Marsh marigold (Caltha palustris) and Opposite-leaved golden saxifrage (Chrysosplenium oppositifolium). There was also an outbreak of 'friendly' Dor beetle (Geotrupes stercorarius)- it must be dung time!- and the little ponds were heaving with the tadpole of the Common frog (Rana temporaria).
