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.

We were delighted to see a small eel (or elver?) in with the Aberglasney newts about 2 weeks ago.
It would be an elver if it is clearly pigmented. A full grown eel is quite a substantial beast (some were revealed when they drained a pond infested with Parrot's feather at the National Wetlands Centre Wales). Nice that you found one but the eels problem is that they have to thrive over such a long migration distance
It was certainly very small and thin (but long and curly) compared to an eel we saw on Skye about a year ago. It didn't hang around long enough for us to note pigmentation. [The newts in the vicinity had speckles].
