In Penclacwydd, the Yellow iris (Iris pseudacorus) and, in Bynea, the Creeping yellowcress (Rorippa sylvestris) were in flower. The Gwenffrwd-Dinas RSPB Reserve revealed Wood sorrel (Oxalis acetoselia) in flower along with lots of Marsh marigold (Caltha palustris) and Opposite-leaved golden saxifrage (Chrysosplenium oppositifolium). There was also an outbreak of 'friendly' Dor beetle (Geotrupes stercorarius)- it must be dung time!- and the little ponds were heaving with the tadpole of the Common frog (Rana temporaria).
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.
