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 Westcross, noted the semi-parasitic Common broomrape (Orobanche minor), Crow garlic (Allium vineale), the almost-emerged Hemp agrimony (Eupatorium cannabinum) and the Hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium). At Blackpill, the hips of Burnet rose (Rosa pimpinellifolia) were ripening.
