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.

Diptera Flesh-fly (Sarcophaga carnaria); Oplodontha viridula and Volucella bombylans. Bugs Dryphilocoris flavoquadrimaculatus. Common blue damselfly (Enallagma cyathigerum) were mating. A small day-flying moth was active and spotted my first male Large skipper (Ochlodes venatus) of the year.
