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.
A damp day but the first Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) and Common cleavers (Gallium aparine) were in flower in Swansea. Two kinds of yellow crucifer were out, probably Wintercress (Barbarea vulgaris) and Wild radish (Raphanus raphistrum), in Blackpill. In West Cross, Crab apple (Malus sylvestris) was in flower and in Mumbles, there was the first annual stirrings of Red valerian (Centranthus ruber).
