Spent a couple of days in Ludlow (Shropshire). The hedgerows were full of Greater stitchwort (Stellaria holostea); Garlic mustard (Alliaria pertiolata); Blue-eyed mary (Omphalodes verna); Cowslip (Primula veris); Wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca); White dead-nettle (Lamium album) and Red dead-nettle (Lamium purpureum). Also visited by a Carpet moth and a Buff ermine (Spilosoma luteum).
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.
