Corinna, Prudence and I went to Northam Burrows again yesterday, and we saw three species of bird for the first time this year.One was a lapwing (V. vanellus), which have always been favourite birds of mine.
The other two were waders, and before you watch this short film that I put together this evening, please note that I am not claiming that these are spectacularly rare or of any cryptozoological importance whatsoever, but merely that I would like some help in identifying them. I am terribly rusty on my British birds, and although when I was a boy (and my grandmother, who was a keen bird watcher was alive) I knew them all, I am far less certain on my identifications nowadays.







New on the Frontiers of Zoology, an article about Winged Reptoids and more Possible Pterosaur sightings:










In November Sahar Dimus, our guide on four CFZ Sumatra expeditions, died of liver failure leaving a widow Lucy and four Children. On the 2nd November, Dezyama D. Sangma, wife of our friend and colleague Dipu Marak, our collaborator on the 2010 Indian expedition died, leaving her grieving husband and two small children.
