It must be spring! The buds of the Horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) in Loughor are waving to the world outside! In the same location, in spite of the cloud, the Sun spurge (Euphorbia helioscopia) is starting to grow. In later sunshine, Bumble bees (Bombus lucorum) and more Dronefly (Eristalis tenax) were active amongst the garden flowers.
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.
