Seeing the Changes 1789

In Loughor, Stone bramble (Rubus saxatilis) and Common comfrey (Symphytum officinale) were in flower. In Penclacwydd, Guelder rose (Viburnum opulus) was blooming. Also in that location, Pyrochroa serraticornis and Phyllobius pomaceus beetles and an interesting spider busied themselves. Back in Loughor, spotted my first Slow worm (Anguis fragilis) of the year.
