Lots of changes. In Loughor, Wood forgetmenot (Myosotis sylvatica); Shining cranesbill (Geranium lucidum) and Alexanders (Smyrnium olusatrum) were all in flower. At Dyffryn near Cowbridge, Wood anemone (Anemone nemorosa) and Common field speedwell (Veronica persica) were in bloom, as well as spotting my first Peacock butterfly (Inachis io) of the year.
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.
