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.

Too Much Wind in Wales?
A 300 feet, £20m wind turbine has been snapped off by the wind (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/feb/15/storms-uk-weather-wind-turbine-blown-over-wales). The turbine was on a wind farm, near Bridgend in South Wales. Even stronger winds are forecast for the next few days in this region. It seems that you can have too much wind even for massive turbines.
