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.

Coming Back
A report that one third of 'extinct' Mammalian species are eventually (sometimes 100 years later) should not raise too many hopes (http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/sep/29/plant-species-face-extinction ). It is also predicted that 1 in 5 plants face extinction and that will accelerate the rate of animal extinctions. Talking of extinctions, I retire from University on 30th September. I will continue to exist in the Blogosphere!

Happy retirement, Paul! Very glad that you are not retiring from blogging though. Michele
With all good wishes, and we look forward to more blogposts.
Thanks for your good wishes- I suspect that the blog might actually get more attention. I have certainly no intention of watching cricket or golf on TV!
