Hemlock (Conium maculatum) is in seed in Penclacwydd. In that location, Bittersweet (Solanum dulcamara) and Bramble (Rubus fruticosus) berries were now in shades of red. In Bynea, Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa) had many a sloe. Common fleabane (Pulicaria dysenterica), Water pepper (Polygonum hydropiper), Common figwort (Scrophularia nodosa), Marsh woundwort (Stachys palustris) as well as Marsh mallow (Malva officinalis) are in flower and a Common shrew (Sorex araneus) lays dead on the cycle path. In Caswell, the Traveller's joy (Clematis vitalba), Bell heather (Erica cinerea), Lesser burdock (Arctium minus) and Wood sage (Teucrium scorodonia) are 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.
