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.

Dairy Crest have filled an entire river near their establishment with noxious black sludge. A royal warrant is a useful marketing device. It seems a bit feeble to suggest Dairy Crest should get its environmental act together, to retain it. Dairy Crest: makers of Davidstow cheddar and noxious black sludge?
