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 1770
Lots more flora and fauna at Swansea University's Bay Campus and Crymlyn Burrows. Shepherd's purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris); Common fumitory (Fumaria officinalis); Marsh cranesbill (Geranium palustre); Marsh violet (Viola palustris); Marsh hawksbeard (Crepis tectorium) and Marsh ragwort (Senecio aquaticus) were all in bloom. Flies sun-lounged on buttercups. Also spotted St Mark's fly (Bibio marci), Tadpoles of the Common frog (Rana temporaria) and an active Viviparous lizard (Lacerta viviparia).
