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.

That Last Post Was My 5000th
Dear Reader, I hope that some of the 5000 posts have amused, entertained, informed or even corrected confusions (not necessarily at the same time). My blog does not generate any money, as I am firmly of the opinion that my views (whether you choose to accept them or not), ought not be driven by advertising or sponsorship (plus I don't need the money). I apologise for my tendency to use weak puns, when titling each post, but I am a creature of habit and the weird sense of humour is ingrained. Could I encourage you to comment on posts that you may disagree with, as well as those you like? I've had some appreciated comments but like a bit of debate. As you may have gathered, my postings have increased in number over the Covid19 pandemic. I have actually found blogging to be quite therapeutic. This doesn't, of course, mean that I am perfectly balanced or a repository of all wisdoms! I try not to be overtly 'political' but admit to finding this harder and harder.
