The first Herb Robert (Geranium robertianum) was in flower in Loughor along with 'escaped' Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis). The candleabra-like flowers of Horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastaneum) were also starting to appear. In Port Eynon, Ground ivy (Glechoma hederacea); Sea stock (Matthiola sinuata) and Cuckoo flower (Cardamine pratensis) were all in bloom. A black European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) romped in the sunshine.
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.
