The renowned painter and horticulturist Cedric Morris was born in Sketty, Swansea. His paintings of birds are among his most characterful and colourful works. Morris was deeply concerned with the natural world and, in his later career, drew attention to the effects of the bird population caused by pesticides used in farming.
