Seeing the Changes 574

More changeable weather. Noted what looked like ancient sun-cracking in the mud on the collapsed banks of the river Loughor. There was also lots of relatively large fungi on horse droppings. Thrift (Armeria maritima) was in bud there. I also noted a Green-veined white butterfly (Artogeia napi) feeding and a writhing mass of Lackey moth (Malacosoma neustria) larvae on a web. In Loughor, Herb Bennet (Geum urbanum) and Marsh willowherb (Epilobium palustre) were flowering.
