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 1808
At Crymlyn Burrows, noted Biting stonecrop (Sedum acre); Woolly thistle (Cirsium eriophorum); Goat's-beard (Tragopon pratensis); Marsh sow-thistle (Sonchus palustris); Yellow iris (Iris pseudacorus) and Common bloomrape (Orobranche minor) in flower. Also spotted my first Cantharis rustica, mating Oedemera nobilis beetles, a digger wasp (Ammophila sabulosa) and a Cinnabar moth (Tyria jacobaeae) of the year.
