In Bynea, the Thrift (Armeria maritima) is visited by a Caddis fly (probably Glyphotaelius pellucidus) and the Prickly sow-thistle (Sonchus asper) is in flower. Between Swansea and Blackpill, lots of Dog rose (Rosa canina) and Burnet rose (Rosa pimpinellifolia) are blooming. Also joined by Yellow rattle (Rhinanthus minor), Buckshorn plantain (Plantago coronopus) and Sea stock (Matthiola sinuata). On the Fennel in that location spotted my first Pine ladybird (Exochromus 4-pustulatus).
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.
