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.

Neath Valley Highlights
Did the standard hike with Hipkin, Naylor and Tew on the Biology field course around the waterfalls including the impressive Sgwd-yr-Eira. Amongst the interesting organisms seen were Sulphur tuft fungus (Hypholoma fasciculare), a hoverfly that looked like a bumble-bee (Volucella bombylans), the bobbing chick of a Dipper (Cinclus cinclus) and a busy Grey wagtail (Motacilla cinerea).
