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.

More than 24000 Adders, Grass snakes, Common lizards and Slow worms have been reportedly transported by van from a site in Essex where the £1.5bn London Gateway Container Port is being built to a now 'full' reserve in Wiltshire (http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2011/mar/21/essex-reptiles-wiltshire-homes?INTCMP=SRCH ). This actually seems a very odd thing to do as the introductions are very likely to alter the dynamics of the local Wiltshire populations of the reptiles and their prey.
