A few of the plants from the dunes around St-Trojan-les-Bains (Ile d'Oleron, France). There was lots of Harestail grass (Ligurus ovalus) and big Maritime pines (Pinus pinaster) shaded the area. Flowers included Viper's bugloss (Echnium vulgare); Sea stock (Matthiola sinuata); Slender knapweed (Centaurea debeauxii); Sea holly (Eryngium maritimum); Sea spurge (Euphorbia paralias); White campion (Silene alba); Chichory (Cichorium intybus); Small-flowered evening primrose (Oenothera salicifolia) and Oxford ragwort (Senecio squalidus).
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.
