First day of Autumn. Lots of fungi about with Wrinkled crust (Phlebia radiata) and a dead wood-based growth in Loughor. Slippery Jack (Suillus luteus) was now all over Bynea where Water mint (Mentha aquatica) was also in bloom. There were lots of Small white (Artogeia rapae) RTA's on Loughor Bridge but these were the only butterflies in numbers in this area.
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.
