It must be the silly season, as lots of UK newspapers have led on an apparent trashing by bears of a Norwegian holiday hut that was stocked with 100 cans of lager, chocolate, honey and marshmallows (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2186993/Boozy-beer-bears-Family-bears-break-cabin-Norway-finish-100-cans-lager.html). The culprits are said to be a mother bear with 3 cubs and, certainly, bears are opportunistic feeders particularily on the described food items. I do wonder, however, how efficient the bears were at opening the lager cans. Might, possibly be some human intervention?
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.
