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.

Eggstinct?
'Free range' eggs will not be available in the UK from Monday 21st March (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/18/free-range-eggs-unavailable-britain-avian-flu). 'Free range' eggs will disappear from supermarket shelves because the UK has been experiencing its largest ever outbreak of bird 'flu. Chickens have consequently been confined to quarters since last November. This means that their eggs can no longer carry the (obviously slightly misleading) label from this coming Monday.
