Seeing the Changes 302

A Bloodvein moth (Timandra griseta) visited in Loughor. In that location, Great willowherb (Epilobium hirsutum) and Hairy St John's wort (Hypericum hirsutum) were in bloom. In Bynea, Black knapweed (Centaurea nigra), Canadian fleabane (Conyza canadensis), Square-stalked St John's wort (Hypericum tetrapterum), Dwarf mallow (Malva neglecta) and Pale toadflax (Linaria repens) were in flower. In Penclacwydd, Creeping thistle (Cirsium arvense), Woolly thistle (Cirsium eriophorum) and Purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) were out. I have seen Small tortoiseshells (Aglais urticae) earlier in the year but there seemed to be a lot of activity by this butterfly over the whole distance today.
