There seem to be a lot of wild flowers still in bloom as one jogs (slowly) from the University to Westcross. They include Sea bindweed (Calystegia soldanella); Hedge bindweed (Calystegia sepium); Dandelion (Taraxacum spp); Lesser hawkbit (Leontodon saxatilis); Common ragwort (Senecio jacobaea); Sea mayweed (Tripleurospermum maritimum); Daisy (Bellis perennis); Bastard cabbage (Rapistrum rugosum); Annual wall rocket (Diplotaxis muralis); Sea holly (Eryngium maritimum); Large-flowered evening primrose (Oenothera glazoviana); Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis); Rock samphire (Crithmum maritimum); White clover (Trifolium repens); Red clover (Trifolium pratense); Ivy-leaved toadflax (Cymbalaria muralis); Sea plantain (Plantago maritima); Bramble (Rubus fruticosa); Yarrow (Achillea millefolium); Soapwort (Saponaria officinalis); Sunspurge (Euphorbia helioscopia) and Groundsel (Senecio vulgaris). Bumble bees (Bombus terrestris) continued to bounce from flower to flower.
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.
