Mega hot, so lots of activity. Lady's bedstraw (Galium verum), Marsh bedstraw (Galium palustre), Oxford ragwort (Senecio squalidus) and Burnet rose (Rosa pimpinellifolia) were in flower between Bynea and Penclacwydd. I noted a Peacock butterfly (Inachis io) sprinting across the cycle track whilst a Grass snake (Natrix natrix) basked there (TOO FAST TO PHOTOGRAPH). A seven spot ladybird (Cocinella 7-punctata) explored. In Loughor, a pillar-box red, Pyrochroa serraticornis beetle checked out the herbs.
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.
