Seeing the Changes 1357

Late summer in Broughton on the Gower. Dwarf mallow (Malva neglecta); Harebells (Campanula rotundifolia); Lady's bedstraw (Galium verum) and Cnidium (Cnidium dubium) were all in flower. The berries on Black bryony (Tamus communis) hips on the Burnet rose (Rosa pimpinellifolia) had also appeared. The pupae of Six-spot burnet moths (Zygaena filipendulae) were all over the vegetation and there was a large gathering of Bloody-nosed beetles (Timarcha tenebricosa). A large bumble bee made the most of a break in the weather.
