Studies by the WWT have suggested that declines in the numbers of Tufted ducks, Goosanders and Goldeneyes migrating to over-winter in the UK are consequences of climate change (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-22484907). It seems that warmer winters in Scandinavia have persuaded some of these water birds to resist migration (an energetically demanding activity).
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.
