Seeing the Changes 378

Surprised to note the invasion of Loughor by five, wet Gower ponies (Equus caballus). Amongst the things they might be tempted to sample were Ramsons (Allium ursinum), Dittander (Lepidium latifolium) and Downy rose (Rosa tomentosa).

It could easily be the case as very high tides are separated by very low waters. Certainly, some of the ponies looked as if they had been recently wading.
