At Oxwich on the Gower, Orpine (Sedum telephinum), Eyebright (Euphrasia officinalis), Small-flowered cranesbill (Geranium pusillum) and Wild thyme (Thymus polytrichus) were all in flower. There were also Small skipper (Thymelicus flavus) and Small heath (Coenonympha pamphilus) butterflies, green bugs and mating Rhagonycha fulva beetles.
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.
