The Rosebay willowherb (Epilobium angustifolium) was fully in flower in Gowerton. In Loughor, the Ribbed melilot (Melilotus officinalis) was in bloom and a strange yellow and black Picture-winged fly (probably Urophora cardui) cavorted amongst the nettles. In Swansea, the alien Hamalayan balsam (Impatiens glandulifera) was much in evidence near water.
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.
