The first appearance of the year of the weird Plume moth (Emmelina monodactyla) in Loughor! No sign of action yet from the twig but Horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) leaves are appearing and the Common dog violet (Viola riviniana) is in flower. In Bynea, a white umbellifer probably Hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium) and Common field speedwell (Veronica persica) are in flower. In Llanelli, the tadpoles of the Common frog (Rana temporaria) are swimming.
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.
