Had a tweet (#fredbrain) from a journalist about a claim from the National Trust that Autumn was coming early this year. It did feature in Walesonline.co.uk. Things do seem to be a bit odd in their timing (the point of this blog) but I did try to tell them that it is difficult to establish that what we are seeing is a trend (needs masses of observations over an extended period). I guess, however, that it is difficult to put complex ideas over in 120 letters and spaces!
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.
