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.

We are wondering whether there seems to be a resurgence of Ragged Robin due perhaps in part to the wild flower seed mixes that seem to be used locally e.g. on M4 verges etc. We may be quite wrong in this assumption, but we failed to see it much over a number of years, and now it seems to grow in profusion once more - which is lovely.
Perhaps it's just that our observation skills have improved!
It could very well be true but the flower is well established at the WWT Llanelli and along the cycle path near Gowerton. I have not seen much evidence of deliberate planting around there.
