The Hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium) was in flower in Loughor. In Bynea, Slender thistle (Carduus tenuifloris) and Common sea lavender (Limonium vulgare) were both in bloom. It has been a poor year for butterflies here, thus far, but there was quite a lot of Ringlet (Athantopus hyperanthus) activity today.
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.
