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.

The bird lacerated its owner's, groin causing massive loss of blood. Cockfighting is an unpleasant activity and fights can be fatal to the opponent, when just the talons are used. These male birds normally fight as a form of sexual competition.
