Progress on a replacement nuclear power station on Anglesey have been reportedly delayed whilst the effects on breeding colonies of protected seabirds (notably terns) are assessed (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/apr/09/plans-for-welsh-nuclear-power-plant-delayed-concerns-seabirds-anglesey-tern-colonies-wylfa). I personally think that any delays are likely to be ultra-short as, almost invariably, 'jobs' and 'greenish power' tend trump environmental issues.
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.
