Visited, in Loughor, by a Willow beauty moth (Peribatoides rhomboidaria) and saw a Glow worm (Lampyris noctiluca) by the boating club. In Bynea, Common mallow (Maltha sylvestris), White melilot (Melilotus alba), Cut-leaved cranesbill (Geranium dissectum), Great mullein (Verbascum thapsus) and the alien (but useful) Butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii) were all coming into flower. The red galls of the sawfly Pontania proxima were present on the Willow leaves. The wild thyme (Thymus polytrichus) was profuse at Rest bay.
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.
