In Bynea, Common cleavers (Galium aparine) and Sea beet (Beta vulgaris) were in flower. Large white butterflies (Pieris brassicae) were also active along with the Orange tips. In Loughor, the Horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) was fully in bloom (or even futher along) and was joined by the Field rose (Rosa arvensis), Creeping cinquefoil (Potentilla heptaphylla) and the Ramping fumitory (Fumaria capreolata). Bramble (Rubus fruticosus) and Bittersweet (Solanum dulcamara) flower buds were about to pop. In Bynea, there was what looks like a variant on a nettle.
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.
