Disturbing news that at least 21 farmed boars have been released in a burglary in Maesteg (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-27184854). Such animals can be dangerous but, if they manage to re-establish themselves in the wild, can cause quite a bit of damage to woodland areas by their rooting and wallowing activities. This has been seen in other areas of the UK where boars have gone feral.
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.
