Seeing the Changes 563

A strangely hot Bank holiday, Spent the day at Oxwich. Lots of rather stunted Cowslips (Primula veris) in bloom as well as Bluebell (Endymion non-scriptus) and Hedgerow cranesbill (Geranium pyrenaicum) that are presumably a hang-overs of previous woodland in the area. There was also Birds foot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) in places. Critters included early nymphs of Great green bush-crickets (Tettigonia viridissima), Bumble bees (possibly Bombus hypnorum) and a relative of the St Mark's fly ( Bibio sp). In Bynea, Black medick (Medicago lupulina) was flowering.
