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 1711
A few of the late bloomers missed yesterday. In Bynea, noted Vervain (Verbena officinalis); Marsh woundwort (Stachys palustris); Marsh hawksbeard (Crepis paludosa); Bristly ox-tongue (Picris echinoides) and Hemp agrimony (Eupatorium cannabinum). In Penclacwydd, saw that the female catkins of Hazel (Corylus arveliana) had appeared. Tufted vetch (Vicia cracca) was still around there.
