In Penclacwydd, saw male and female flowers of Alder (Alnus glutinosa) and the Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa) was about to bloom. Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna), Hazel (Corylus avellana) and Bramble (Rubus fruticosus) were all coming into leaf there. In Loughor, Dandelion (Taraxacum sp), Heather (Calluna vulgaris) and Common dog violet (Viola rivinia) were all in flower. Also saw the first wild butterfly of the year, a Comma (Polygonia c-album) from hibernation. The beastie played dead for some time.
