Around West cross, the Buckshorn plantain (Plantago coronopus), Many-seeded goosefoot (Chenopodium polyspermum), Bramble (Rubus fruticosus) and Sea mayweed (Matricaria maritima) were all coming into flower. The alien Cotoneaster was also in bloom in Blackpill. In Bynea, Elder (Sambucus nigra), Southern marsh orchid (Dactylorhiza praetermissa), Dog rose (Rosa canina), Slender thistle (Carduus tenuifloris) and Stone parsley (Sison amomum) were all in flower.

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.
