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.

Seeing the Changes 1707
Just entering October in Loughor. Milkcap toadstools in evidence. The flowerings seem to be going on longer. On a 1k walk, noted Common daisy (Bellis perennis); Yarrow (Achillea millefolium); Dandelion (Taraxacum sp); Hedge bindweed (Calystegia sepium); Redshank (Polygonum persicaria); Red campion (Silene dioica); Common fleabane (Pulicaria dysenterica); Smooth sowthistle (Sonchus oleraceus); Parsley water dropwort (Oenanthe lachenalii); Meadow buttercup (Ranunculus acris) and Creeping thistle (Cirsium arvense). There was even a Seven-spot ladybird (Coccinella 7-punctata) exploring the Yarrow.
