Images from WWT Llanelli Wetland Centre. Lots of Dock rust (Puccinia phragmites) evident. Common reed (Phragmities australis); Hairy bittercress (Cardamine hirsuta) and Bird cherry (Prunus padus) in flower. New insects included Mesembrina meridiana; Common wasp (Vespula vulgaris) collecting wood pulp; Norellisoma spinimanum and Sepsis fulgens. Birds were active, including Moorhens (Gallinula chloropus) and the Blackhead gull (Larus ridibunda) colony.
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.
