Vertebrates of the Quiberon coast included a range of lizards with a male Sand lizard (Lacerta agilis) and two rather varied females. Birds included small grey waders (probably Sanderling Calidris alba); White wagtails (Motacilla alba alba); Cormants (Phalacrocorax carbo); Rock doves (Columba livia); diving Gannet (Sula bassana); a Grey wagtail (Motacilla cinerea) and Serin (Serinus serinus). There were also masses of European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus).
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.
