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.

Friend of the Kent Virus?
They are certainly now coming out of the woodwork! A man from Chatham, in Kent, has been charged with posting a presumed 'explosive device' to a Wockhardt site in Wrexham, North Wales (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/jan/30/man-charged-with-sending-suspicious-package-to-welsh-covid-vaccine-plant). Receipt of the package predictably forced the Wockhardt site's complete evacuation. The site provides a 'fill-and-finish' service (basically putting materials in vials and labelling) for the Oxford/AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine. So the device at least delayed vaccine processing. It's odd that the suspect comes from the same location, as the more infective B117 variant of Sars-CoV-2, that is spreading across the UK.
