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.

Fall of the Kingdom?
The Ravenmaster of the Tower of London (there really is such a position!), has reported that one of his ravens has gone missing, presumed dead (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/jan/14/tower-of-london-raven-missing-feared-dead). Legend (we really need these in these present times) has it, that the 'kingdom' will fall, if fewer than 6 ravens hang around the tower. I suspect that the ravenmaster is already bringing in a replacement. Of course, it could be the case, that Merlina (the missing bird), has simply flown the gig. Lockdown means no tourists, with the added snacks and entertainment, they normally bring to the location.
