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.
Between Swansea and Mumbles, Sea holly (Eryngium maritimum) was fully in flower along with Hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium), Rock samphire (Crithmum marititimum), Greater broomrape (Orobanche rapum-genistae) and the weird Crow garlic (Allium vineale). The hips of Burnet rose (Rosa pimpinellifolia).
The Comma butterfly ( Polygonia c-album) gets its name from the punctuation-like mark, on the underside of its wings.
