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 352
Seems a bit spring-like (in spite of night frosts). In Bynea, they are 'carrying out urgent repairs' to the cycle track until 20th April. It will be interesting to see the effects on vegetation. Spotted a Bumble bee (Bombus terrestris) flying there. In Loughor, the Horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) is coming into leaf and the Cherry (Prunus spp) into flower. We were also visited by an early pug moth (Eupithecia spp).
