In Bynea, the sun had brought out the Cuckoo flower (Cardamine pratensis), the Spanish bluebell (Endymion hispanicus) and the Perennial centaury (Centaurum scilloides). Field horsetail (Equisetum arvense) shoots were poking through. In Loughor, Alexanders (Smyrnium olustrum) and Lords and ladies (Arum maculatum) were coming into bloom. A Common blue butterfly (Polyommatus icarus) was in flight.
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.
