At Llangennith, the Sea rocket (Cakile maritima) seems to have grown more onto the sand than usual (perhaps the high rainfall). Lots of the very large Moon jellyfish (Aurelia aurita) were washed up there. In Bynea, yellow morph Cepaea nemoralis snails are racing across the wet surfaces of the cycle path.
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.
