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 346
A spring-like day. In Penclacwydd, Coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara) was in flower. It was joined, in Loughor, by Lesser celandine (Ranunculus ficaria). A Common damsel bug (Nabis rugosus) came to the light in Loughor whilst a Drone fly (Eristalis tenax) fed on the Garden crocus. In Penclacwydd, a Seven-spot ladybird (Coccinella 7-punctata) sunned itself on a fence.
