Scientists have claimed that 2019 is probably a bumper year for butterflies in the UK (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/aug/05/warm-weather-makes-it-a-boom-year-for-butterflies-say-experts) and have suggested that warm weather accounts for the beneficial effect. Although people enthuse about butterflies, one could argue that their atypical frequency is actually a confirmation of there being problems with the climate.
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.
