Seeing the Changes 352

Seems a bit spring-like (in spite of night frosts). In Bynea, they are 'carrying out urgent repairs' to the cycle track until 20th April. It will be interesting to see the effects on vegetation. Spotted a Bumble bee (Bombus terrestris) flying there. In Loughor, the Horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) is coming into leaf and the Cherry (Prunus spp) into flower. We were also visited by an early pug moth (Eupithecia spp).
