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 409
Lots of activity around Loughor. Tutsan (Hypericum androsaemum), Enchanter's nightshade (Circaea lutetiana) and Common poppy (Papaver rhoeas) were in flower. The controllers of hedges simply blitzed the vegetation. Noted a canniblastic Flesh fly (Sarcophaga carnaria) as well as being visited by a Light emerald moth (Campaea margaritata) and an Ichneumon fly (Amblyteles armatorius). A Six-spot burnet moth (Zygaena filipendulae) was a road traffic victim on Loughor Bridge.
