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...

KEN GERHARD VS THE LOCH NESS MONSTER

This image was sent to me by a Yugoslavian man who claims he captured it while viewing the Loch Ness surveillance website. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated...

Funny thing he didn't call it a Pterodactyl, since it seems to be associated with the trees and NOT in the water.

Best wishes, Dale D.

Goodness me, even I can come up with a slightly more convincing Loch Ness Monster than that, as the photo I recently sent to Jon adequately demonstrated (and yes, I do know the plesiosaur depicted in said image was anatomically incorrect and that live ones could never stick their heads out of the water like that).

To be quite honest, I don't think that black thing is even in Loch Ness at all; I think it is an insect or a bird dropping on the windowpane through which the observation camera is looking, so is a couple of feet away from the camera, not a mile or so away.

A bird in flight?

D. Ratliff said...

At first glance, I would hazard a bird of some form flying from one tree to the next. But I could be wrong. ;) I'm not a photograph expert or anything.

Glasgow Boy said...

It looks more out of focus than the surrounding vegetation which implies it is a lot closer to the camera. I would say it is something stuck on the lens.

Tabitca said...

Its probably a red kite. There are lots on the Black Isle so not that far for them to fly.I think Sparrow hawks have also been seen around the area.Web cams do seem to make things appear to be something else and you can't focus in as you can with your own camera.

It would probably be useful to see the bracketing frames before and after, and know what the lapse times are between shots. As it is, I say bird.

He's sat on it for a month - the data reads Wednesday June 8th and the tents for RockNess are visible in the background. Crows and buzzards are common near the castle so I'd guess one of them. Update time is about 30 secs so other frames probably won't help.
