On the cliff walk between Langland and Caswell, spotted lots of Garden tiger (Callimorpha dominula) lavae. Also noted blooms of Tormentil (Potentilla erecta); Thrift (Armeria maritima); Common milkweed (Polygala vulgaris); Gorse (Ulex europaea) and Red valerian (Centhanthus ruber). The solitary bees were also feeding. In the water, Grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) fished but sadly a Harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) carcass washed up.
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.
