It was quite gratifying that Iolo William's new series on the natural history of Welsh city parks, that started with Swansea'a Singleton Park (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04xd9z9), featured 2 of my former PhD students. Isabella Brey told the tale of the invasion of our woodlands by the alien landhopper (Architalitrus dorrieni) and Dan Forman proffered advice on the locations of Red fox (Vulpes vulpes) on the campus.
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.
