In Bynea, Field horsetail (Equisetum arvense) was moving to the mature stage. In Loughor, Ribwort plantain (Plantago lancelata); Pineapple mayweed (Chamomilla susveolans) and Horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) were coming into flower. We also had visits from the Foxglove pug (Eupithecia pulchellata) and the Common carpet (Epirrhoe alternata) moths. In Bynea, I spotted an unusual beetle.
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.
