Seeing the Changes 1813

Lots of activity at Crymlyn Burrows. An alien Tiger lily (Lilium bulbiferum); Dyer's greenwood (Genista tinctoria); Rest harrpw (Ononis repens); Bedstraw broomrape (Orobranche caryophyllacea); Juncus reed; Tufted vetch (Vicia cracca); Barren strawberry (Fragaria sterilis); Ribbed melilot (Melilotus officinalis); Pyramidal orchid (Anacamptis pyramidalis); Sea spurge (Euphorbia paralias) and Sea bindweed (Convolvulus soldanella) were all in flower. New critters for the year included a mirid bug; a day flying moth; lots of Garden chafers (Phyllopertha horticola), a lurking spider and a predatory fly with its prey.
