It's well worth venturing onto the dunes at present to witness the stunning diversity of flowering plants and associated invertebrate fauna. Below is a small selection of dune plants flowering at present :
Japanese Rose (Rosa rugosa) A locally frequent alien at Kenfig Rivermouth - rather invasive hence not particularly desirable, but gives off a powerful fragrance. |
Sand Cat's-tail (Phleum arenarium), Sticky Stork's-bill (Erodium
lebelii) and Kidney Vetch (Anthyllus vulneraria) at Baglan
Basil Thyme (Clinopodium acinos) Nicholaston |
Common Rock-rose (Helianthemum nummularium) at Nicholaston |
Beaked Hawk's-beard (Crepis vesicaria) at Baglan Burrows |
