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.

My RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch 2024 Results
I entered my results for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) 'citizen scientist' Big Garden Birdwatch 2024. Their criterion of recording the maximum number of a species actually landed in my garden at any one time, over the observation hour, was used. I recorded 1 Woodpigeon (Columba palumbus); 1 Blue tit (Parus caeruleus); 1 Blackbird (Turdus merula); 6 Starling (Sternus vulgaris) and 13 House sparrows (Passer domesticus). Both species diversity and bird numbers were unimpressive for a large garden with bird feeders.
