In spite of the cold, the wind and the rain (where is the summer?) plant life in Bynea carries on with Small-flowered evening primrose (Oenothera cambrica), Great willowherb (Epilobium hirsuitum) and Common sea lavender (Limonium vulgare) coming into flower. Many of the first fruits are also appearing with Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides), Bramble (Rubus fruticosus), Elder (Sambucus nigra) and Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) much in evidence. An emerging Slow worm (Anguis fragilis) became a road casualty.
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.
