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.

Keep on Running
Yet another one bites the dust! It seems that Spencer Davis (Swansea-born leader of the Spencer Davis Group of the mid-1960's) has died in hospital, aged 81, whilst being treated for 'pneumonia' (https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/oct/20/spencer-davis-frontman-spencer-davis-group-dies-aged-81). My personal main recollection is that their hit 'Keep on Running' always used to be played repeatly at marathons and half-marathons in the UK jogging boom of the 1970's and 80's. It's a good pace-setter!
