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.

Thank you, Paul, for your ID of the Small Tortoiseshell caterpillars in their tent-like webbing. We saw some at Carlton Marshes near Lowestoft. I saw a Brown-tailed Moth caterpillar (here) today on Mersea Island ... just the one.
Nice to see they are thriving all over the UK. The species has suffered in recent years (sad for what the Scots refer to as 'the Devil's butterfly' -I think because it hibernates in rooms with fires).
