In spite of the steady rain and cool temperatures, in Bynea, the Hemp agrimony (Eupatorium cannabinum) and Rosebay willowherb (Epilobium augustifolium) are about to burst forth. Common calamint (Calamintha sylvatica), Great mullein (Verbascum thapsus) and the alien (but useful) Butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii) are actually blooming. Common froghopper (Philaenus spumarius) adults are leaping out of their larval skins. In Loughor, the Lords and ladies (Arum maculatum) has large green berries.
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.
