This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
Pale toadflax (Linaria repens) was blooming in Bynea along with Vervain (Verbena officinalis). A Seven-spot ladybird (Coccinella 7-punctata) had also emerged from its pupa. In Loughor, Meadow cranesbill (Geranium pratense), Wild privet (Ligustrum vulgare) and Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) were in flower.
The Comma butterfly ( Polygonia c-album) gets its name from the punctuation-like mark, on the underside of its wings.
