On a wet day in Cumbria it's nice to look back at Tom's photos from earlier in the week .
A trip from my house near Brangwyn Hall, across to the marina, and then to Swansea University Bay Campus leading to Crymlyn Burrows SSSI.

Crymlyn Burrows:
 |
| Rough grassland, reed beds, and sand dunes: a real variety of habitats. |
 |
| Broomrapes and a century sp. |
 |
| Painted lady on scabious |
 |
| Small copper, common blue, digger wasp, speckled wood. |

| Comma |
I decided to go back home on the bus, and at the Bay campus bus stop there was a large defoliated decorative bush. Above the bush there were many small web like nests that were in fact vapourer moth cocoons.
