Lots of flowers suddenly out along Swansea Bay. At Blackpill, Biting stonecrop (Sedum acre), Common restharrow (Ononis repens), Horseshoe vetch (Hippocrepis comosa), Red valerian (Centranthus ruber) and Sea bindweed (Calystegia soldanella) were in flower. At Westcross, Buck's horn plantain (Plantago coronopus), Common broomrape (Orobanche minor), Golden samphire (Inula crithmoides) and Ribbed melilot (Melilotus officinalis) were blooming. In Mumbles, there was even a stand of Rock sea lavender (Limonium binervosum).
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.
