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.
In Bynea and Loughor, Bumble bees (including Bombus pascuorum), Common wasp (Vespula vulgaris) and hoverflies (including Neoascia podagrica and Volucella pellucens) were struggling in the wind. A male mosquito and a Turnip sawfly (Athalia rosae) took energy from umbellifers in Loughor. A lone Common field grasshopper (Chorthippus brunneus) was too lethargic to move in Bynea.
