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.

Direct Action by Herring Gulls?
The Dorset police failed (under political pressure?) to properly investigate the illegal poisoning of a White-tailed eagle in their English county. Subsequently, the police authority even decided to largely disband their Environmental Crimes Unit. Herring gulls appear to be showing their displeasure with this turn of events. A pair have made a nest and laid eggs on the roof of a police squad car in Bridport (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/may/27/protected-gulls-roost-on-roof-of-dorset-police-car ). The Herring gull is a protected species. This means that the squad car must remain out of commission, until the birds have finished roosting. That will teach the Dorset police!
