Seeing the Changes 2142












Images from WWT Llanelli Wetland Centre. Lots of Dock rust (Puccinia phragmites) evident. Common reed (Phragmities australis); Hairy bittercress (Cardamine hirsuta) and Bird cherry (Prunus padus) in flower. New insects included Mesembrina meridiana; Common wasp (Vespula vulgaris) collecting wood pulp; Norellisoma spinimanum and Sepsis fulgens. Birds were active, including Moorhens (Gallinula chloropus) and the Blackhead gull (Larus ridibunda) colony.
