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.

Dear Paul,
This is Blaise Bullimore, sometime Swansea university student & post grad 1970s- early 80s; diving buddy of Nigel Bowden.
This isn't a comment on the blog post I'm afraid. I found your blog whilst searching for something else in my capacity as Site officer for the Carmarthen Bay & Estuaries European Marine Site (see www.cbeems.org.uk).
Seeing your interest in the Loughor and your claim to be mutating into Mr Ecogrumpy, I wondered if I might persuade you to contribute sightings and observations is support of site management. If maybe, please get in touch via the website if this message doesn't come with my e-mail address.
Best wishes
Happy to help out. Shame about old Nigel.
