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 375
In Swansea, there were lots of Spanish bluebells (Endymion hispanicus), Ramsons (Allium ursinum), Meadow buttercup (Ranunculus acris) and Herb Robert (Geranium robertianum). Common scurvy-grass (Cochlearia officinalis) was in bloom in Westcross. There were masses of Dandelion (Taraxacum spp) clocks on the shore at Blackpill as well as Common vetch (Vicia sativa) in flower. There was lots of Speckled wood (Pararge aegeria tircis) activity in Swansea and Loughor. There was also a Bee fly (Bombylius spp) in Swansea.
