Lots of bushes into flower. In Bynea, Elder (Sambuca nigra), Mountain ash (Sorbus aucuparia) and Broom (Cytisus scoparius) had all emerged. In Penclacwydd, the Wayfaring tree (Viburnum lantana) was out. Many small Common froghopper (Philaenus spumarius) nymphs foamed and a Garden spider (Araneus diadematus) lurked in this location. In Westcross, White clover (Trifolium repens) and Broad-leaved dock (Rumex obtusifolius) were in bloom. In Blackpill, the Bramble (Rubus fruticosus) was in flower and the Green-veined white (Pieris napi) in flight. Later, in Loughor, visited by a Treble bar moth (Aplocera plagiata plagiata).
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.
