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 393
In Penclacwydd, Meadow vetchling (Lathyrus pratensis) was in flower and covered in tiny beetles (Flea beetles?). In that location, Hedge bindweed (Calystegia sepium) and Creeping thistle (Cirsium arvense) were also in bloom. In Loughor, visited by a white and black Treble bar moth (Aplocera plagiata plagiata). In Bynea, got a nice shot of a 7-spot ladybird (Coccinella 7-punctata) larva.
