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.

At a very hot NWCW, the Yellow iris (Iris pseudacorus) was prominent and the Southern marsh orchid (Dactylorhiza praetermissa) had made an early appearance. There was also lots of Odonata activity, with Aeshna cyanea and the 4-spotted chaser (Libella quadrimaculata) flitting about. The small but frisky Common blue damselflies (Enallagma cyathigerum) had started to mate.
The Comma butterfly ( Polygonia c-album) gets its name from the punctuation-like mark, on the underside of its wings.
