The rain and lack of sunshine has forced a Viviparous lizard (Lacerta vivipara) into basking mode in Bynea in the tiny breaks between clouds. Also a lot of Large white (Pieris brassicae) butterfly activity in limited sunshine. In Loughor, the 'old man's beard' component of Traveller's joy (Clematis vitalba) was in evidence. But it is a 'romantic' time for the Great black slug (Arion ater).
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.
