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 408
Lots of flowers out after the rain. In Bynea, viewed Orange hawkweed (Hieracium auranticum), Sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa), Sea beet (Beta vulgaris) and Rosebay willowherb (Epilobium angustifolium). In Penclacwydd, noted Purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria), French figwort (Scrophularia canina), Dog rose (Rosa canina), Hairy tare (Vicia hirsuta) and Slender thistle (Carduus tenuiflorus). The sloe fruit of the Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa) were also evident here. Wild privet (Ligustrum vulgare) was seen in Loughor.
