Got some bird pics around Machinys lake. Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) sang in surrounding trees. On the lake itself, what appeared to be a pair of Canvasbacks (Aythya valisineria) dived in the water. More traditionally, a female Mallard (Anas platyrhychos) took her young out to feed on the waters.
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.
