A sudden splurg of plant activity with the leaves of the Horse chestnut (Aeaculus hippocastanum) emerging and Common whitlow-grass (Erophila verna), Dandelion (Taraxacum sp) and Bell heather (Erica cinerea) in flower in Loughor. Also spotted a Small totoiseshell (Aglais urticae) in flight there. In Bynea, Red dead nettle (Lamium purpureum) and a member of the Cherry (Prunus sp) family were in flower.
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.
