Lots of ground nesting bee activity in Oxwich with Colletes succinctus, Halictus rubicundus and Lasioglossum calceatum being noted on the dunes. At Overton, Sea stock (Matthiola sinuata) was in flower and, at Llangennith, there was lots of Sea spurge (Euphorbia paralias) along with a first appearance of algal bloom on the beach.
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.
