Seeing the Changes 2145











On the cliff walk between Langland and Caswell, spotted lots of Garden tiger (Callimorpha dominula) lavae. Also noted blooms of Tormentil (Potentilla erecta); Thrift (Armeria maritima); Common milkweed (Polygala vulgaris); Gorse (Ulex europaea) and Red valerian (Centhanthus ruber). The solitary bees were also feeding. In the water, Grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) fished but sadly a Harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) carcass washed up.
