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.

A Long Way From Camberwell
A report (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-north-west-wales-11046757) that a Camberwell beauty butterfly had been spotted in a garden in Conwy North Wales is interesting. Although the butterfly has an English-sounding name, it is actually more commonly found in Scandinavia. The specimen will, most likely, have made its way across the sea whilst in migratory mode. I haven't got a picture of one but the Painted lady does a similar thing (I have only just seen my first of these locally after a bumper year in 2009).
