The Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) is finally unfurling its red leaves.In Loughor and Bynea, the Ribwort plantain (Plantago lanceolata) has developed its tutu-like rib. In Bynea, the first of the Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) flowers have unfurled along with the Bluebell (Endymion non-scripta), Greater stitchwort (Stellaria holostea), and Common field speedwell (Veronica persica). There were also a white umbellifer, probably Hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium) and a yellow crucifer probably Wild radish (Rhaphanus raphanistrum).
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.
