More activity in Crymlyn Burrows with Eyebright (Euphrasia officinalis); Downy rose (Rosa tomentosa); Yellow wood violet (Viola biflora) and Hedgerow cranesbill (Geranium pyrenaicum) in bloom. Also lots of Lepidopteran action with 6-spot Burnet moth (Zygaena filipendulae) larvae; a female Common blue (Polyommatus Icarus); a Small heath (Coenonympha pamphilus) along with male and female Small blues (Cupido minimus).
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.
