There is a sad story of a young, tagged female wolf (OR-54) who spent 2 years, walking circa 13 miles per day, in search of a mate (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/feb/09/wolf-california-oregon-scientists-endangered-species). She roamed from her family (sometimes returning), deep into California and even popped into Nevada but all without success. The wolf was found dead at a comparatively early age. It just shows the power of those 'selfish genes'!
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.
