Being in Kent, one gets a clear impression of how Spring gradually glides up our island from South to North. Snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis) and Winter heliotrope (Petasites fragrans) are both in flower here and the Hazel (Corylus avellana) has yellow catkins. I also found lots of hibernating Harlequin beetles (Acrocinus longimanus) in an old house where there were nightly visits by European badgers (Meles meles meles) and Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes).
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.
