In Oxwich, there was lots of hoverfly (Melanostoma scalare) and sand-nesting wasp activity. Bynea, Red clover (Trifolium pratense) was coming into flower and Common green shield bug (Palomina prasina) was siphoning on the nettles. In Loughor, Helophilus pendulus was about, along with the first Two-spot ladybird (Adalia bipunctata) of the year. In Llangennith, yellow Wild pansy (Viola tricolor) dotted the dunes and a ground beetle scuttled about.
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.
