A strangely hot Bank holiday, Spent the day at Oxwich. Lots of rather stunted Cowslips (Primula veris) in bloom as well as Bluebell (Endymion non-scriptus) and Hedgerow cranesbill (Geranium pyrenaicum) that are presumably a hang-overs of previous woodland in the area. There was also Birds foot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) in places. Critters included early nymphs of Great green bush-crickets (Tettigonia viridissima), Bumble bees (possibly Bombus hypnorum) and a relative of the St Mark's fly ( Bibio sp). In Bynea, Black medick (Medicago lupulina) was flowering.
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.
