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.

It's Only Human Nature?
A few UK Shell and BP petrol (gas) stations have been forced to close, having run out of fuel. There is said to be plenty of petrol and diesel at the refineries. There is, however, a shortage of tanker drivers to deliver it to the pumps. People have been instructed not to 'panic buy', as this will simply make the situation worse. Result? Large numbers of motorists queuing outside petrol stations to fill up. Any mention of closures, was always guaranteed to get the Brits reaching for their car keys.
