WELCOME TO THE CFZ BLOG NETWORK: COME AND JOIN THE FUN

Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.

The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

It is edited by CFZ Director Jon Downes, and subbed by the lovely Lizzy Bitakara'mire (formerly Clancy), scourge of improper syntax. The daily newsblog is edited by Corinna Downes, head administratrix of the CFZ, and the indexing is done by Lee Canty and Kathy Imbriani. There is regular news from the CFZ Mystery Cat study group, and regular fortean bird news from 'The Watcher of the Skies'. Regular bloggers include Dr Karl Shuker, Dale Drinnon, Richard Muirhead and Richard Freeman.The CFZ bloggo is updated daily, and there's nothing quite like it anywhere else. Come and join us...

THIS WEEK AT HARTLAND WILDLIFE RESCUE

People at the last Weird Weekend will have noticed a bric-a-brac stall incongrously situated between a bookstall and a specialisr publisher.

Behind the stall you would have seen a pretty young lady called Beth, and on the sunday she was joined by two newborn kittens which were - I think - a bigger draw to Weird Weekenders of all ages than anyone except possibly Ronan.

Her name is Beth Tyler-King and for years she has been involved in Wildlife Rescue, first in Bristol, and now in Hartland. She has become a good friend of the CFZ, and like all our friends she has been persuaded to write for the bloggo...

I picked up a very underweight starling last week which unfortunately although I fed it and had it under a heatlamp, died in the night but I get comfort from the fact that it died in the warm with a full tummy and not out in the cold. Picked up a young pigeon yesterday from vets, also very underweight so hand feeding that too. Collected a hedgehog last Thursday from Stibbs Cross that had been attacked by a dog and it is at vets for a couple of days having regular injections as it is not eating very well. I also have since last Thursday taken in a 6-8mth old puppy that I am needing to rehome so if you know of anyone that would be great. It looks like a small bearded collie (Greyfriars Bobby kind of look) but is actually a King Charles spaniel cross. He is veryhouse trained and very trainable, good with cats too.

I gave my 18 year old pony a bath yesterday as she may be going on loan to Kingsland Riding stables in Woolsery. She was on loan to a Riding school for five years before when I lived in Bristol and she adores children (not adults, hates me!!!!)
