Again in Oxwich, saw Bloody cranesbill (Geranium sanguineum), Wild sage (Salvia nemerosa), Slender St John's wort (Hypericum pulchrum) and Lady's bedstraw (Galium verum) in bloom. Lots of Jellyfish were washed up and a primitive Grey chiton (Lepidochitona cinerea) was spotted. On land, a day-flying Silver 'Y' moth (Autographa gamma) and a male Common lizard (Zootoca vivipara) were spotted.
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.
