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...

THE CFZ GROUNDS IN MAY

Now that spring most definitely has sprung we are getting on with all sorts of bits and bobs that need to be done around the CFZ grounds.

Graham is refurbishing one of the CFZ aviaries, here (something which is long overdue)...
At the Weird Weekend in 2007 lots of small children capered around on the grass under the tree where we had a pinata. Basically they destroyed a large chunk of lawn, and for the last five years we have tried in vain to restore it. We tried returfing it, we tried re-seeding it but to no avail.




Finally we just dug the bloody thing up, and now we have a rather pretty looking flower bed.




I hope that you agree with me that it looks rather fine. In the foreground you see an ornamental rhododendron, which is the beginning of what will eventually be a shrubbery and wildlife haven. We have birds breeding in practically every tree, bush and shrub in the grounds, so it is about time we planted some more..


But lest we forget. We may be refurbishing and changing some parts of the grounds, but others will remain inviolate - like the two little plots where Tessie and Biggles lie in rest...




Sleep well little friends.
