Not exactly a typical Spring but, in Bynea, things were getting underway with Cuckoo flower (Cardamine pratensis), Round leaved cranesbill (Geranium rotundifolium), Ribwort plantain (Plantago lanceolata), Spanish bluebell (Endymion hispanicus), Flowering ash (Fraxinus ornus) and a white umbellifer coming into flower. In Loughor, there was the first appearance of Alexanders (Smyrnium olusatrum), Lords and ladies (Arum maculata) and the first reasonable sized moth.
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.
