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.

In Swansea, noted the Yellow rattle (Rhinanthus minor), Sea bindweed (Calystegia soldanella) and Red valerian (Centranthus ruber). In Westcross, the Buckshorn plantain (Plantago coronopus) was branching out. At the University, a Grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) gymnastically invaded a bird feeder.
