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 321
In Loughor, there was a July highflier moth (Hydriomena furcata) in the moth trap sample along with several other beasts (a Large yellow underwing Noctua pronuba and a Dark arches Apamea monoglypha). The Japanese knotweed (Reynoutria japonica) was flowering in that location. In Bynea, Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa) was in sloe and some marsh grasses were in flower along with Lesser calamint (Calamintha nepata).
