In Loughor, Columbine (Aquilegia vulgaris) was in flower. In Bynea, White clover (Trifolium repens); Field rose (Rosa arvensis); Hemlock water dropwort (Oenanthe crocata); Thrift (Armeria maritima); Bramble (Rubus fructicosus) and Southern marsh orchid (Dactylorhiza praetermissa) were blooming. Here, the Common froghopper nymph (Philaenus spumarius) was frog spitting and a Phylobius pomaceus beetle lurked.
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.
