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.

It's the end of the summer but lots of plants on a walk down through Crawley woods (on the Gower) via the dunes. Lichen was much in evidence on the established dunes as were bunches of Juncus reeds. Flowers and their products spotted included Traveller's joy (Clematis vitalba); Forking larkspur (Consolida regalis); Sea rocket (Cakile maritima); Rest harrow (Ononis repens); Agrimony (Agrimonia eupatoria); Mouse-ear hawkweed (Hieraceum pilosella); Michalmas daisy (Aster novi-belgii); Orpine (Sedum telephium); Small scabious (Scabiosa columbaria); Field scabious (Knautia arvensis); Burnett rose (Rosa pimpinellifolia)- the flower and the hip and Bloody cranesbill (Geranium sanguineum).
