In spite of the unseaonally cold and wet weather in Loughor, Ivy (Hedera helix) and Sun spurge (Euphorbia helioscopia) are both in flower. Two introduced aleins are also in fruit namely Cotoneaster (Cotoneaster salcifolia) and the Snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus). A wind battered moth came to the light- possibly a Lesser treble bar (Aplocera efformata). In Horton, Great mullein (Verbascum thapsis) and Sea rocket (Cakile maritima) are both prominant along witha low white 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.
