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.

Seeing the Changes 316
In Loughor, my bird feeder was visited by an acrobatic Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus). At the National Botanical Gardens Wales, White water-lily (Nymphaea alba) was joined by Flowering rush (Butomus umbellatus) and Monkey flower (Mimulus guttatus). A Grass eggar moth (Lasiocampa trifolii) was also spotted. It was a day for swarming Black garden ants (Lasius niger) and Honey bees (Apis mellifera).
