Lots of new stuff between Loughor and Machinys. At the lake Wild parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) and an oddly coloured Prickly sow thistle (Sonchus asper) were in flower. At Penclacwydd, spotted Teasel (Dipsacus fullonum) and Hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium). On the latter, Rhagonycha fulva beetles roamed. In Loughor, visited by a Lilac beauty moth (Apeira syringaria).
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.
