It has been pointed out that, in areas, the UK flooding has now persisted for a long time (in some cases, since October) and this is seriously (and permanently?) damaging to ecosystems (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/apr/01/the-losses-could-be-profound-how-floods-are-wreaking-havoc-on-wildlife-aoe). For example, the Lugg and Hampton flower meadows are still under the waters of the river Lugg and there has been serious damage to wetland habitats and river ecosystems across the UK. A sign of things to come with climate change, as systems and organisms cannot adapt in time to the changed circumstances?
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.
