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.

Yarrow (Achilles millefolium); Smooth sow-thistle (Sonchus oleraceus); Sea mayweed (Metricaria maritima); Red dead nettle (Lamnium sphondylium); Large-flowered evening primrose (Oenothera erythrosepala); Japanese knotweed (Reynoustria japonica); Herb robert (Geranium robertianum); Field rose (Rosa arvensis); Dandelion (Taraxacum vulgare); Common hogweed (Heracium sphondylum); Common field speedwell (Veronica persica); Charlock (Sinapis arvensis); Butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii); Bramble (Rubus fructicosus) and Black medick (Medicago lupulina). The female catkins of Hazel (Corylus avellana) were prominent and the fruit of the alien Snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus) evident.
