In Bynea, the Bramble (Rubus fruticosus) had black berries and Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) was heavily in berry. In that location, there was also lots of Marsh sow-thistle (Sonchus palustris), Red bartsia (Odontites verna), Marjoram (Origanum vulgare) and Knot grass (Polygonum aviculare) in flower. In Penclawydd, a Green-veined white butterfly (Pieris napi) appeared between the showers. In Loughor, the alien Snowberry (Symphorocarpos albus) had its snow berries. Meadow grasshoppers (Chorthippus parallelus) hopped and a Buff-tip moth (Phalera bucephala) pretended to be a bit of Silver birch twig.
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.
