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.

Bristol Zoo Down the Loo?
Another victim of Covid-19 has been the 185 year-old Bristol Zoo. The zoo has had a prime location in Clifton (near the suspension bridge) and has been much involved in educational and conservation programmes. The pandemic-associated losses in finance have mean't, however, that the entire zoo is relocating to what was their satellite site (The Wild Place Project) near the M5 motorway. I do hope they flourish in this location, as they have been an excellent teaching resource for me over the decades.
