Back at Crymlyn burrows, Great willowherb (Epilobium hirsutum); Common centaury (Centaurium erythraea); Hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium) and Sea holly (Eryngium maritimum) were in flower. The hot weather brought out masses of Small skippers (Thymelicus flavus) and Dark green fritillaries (Mesoacidalia aglaja).
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.
