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.

Bye-bye Blackbirds?

There is much speculation about what might have caused the fatalities (including lightening strikes and hail stones at altitude) but one suggestion is that they were scared to death by celebratory fireworks.
