Lots of marine life around Burry holms including a sea cucumber (Labidoplax digitata) and a washed up jellyfish. Under-sized Sea bass (Dicentarchus labrax) were biting. On the land, there were masses of Thrift (Armeria maritima), Bladder campion (Silene vulgaris), Kidney vetch (Anthyllis vulneraria), Spring squill (Scilla verna), Germander speedwell (Veronica chamaedrys) and Bloody cranesbill (Geranium sanguineum). There were lesser quantities of Burnet rose (Rosa pimpinella) and Stone bramble (Rubus saxatilis) in flower. Lots of European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) activity in the dunes.
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.
