WATCHER OF THE SKIES: Today's Fortean bird news

In an article for the first edition of Cryptozoology Bernard Heuvelmans wrote that cryptozoology is the study of 'unexpected animals' and following on from that perfectly reasonable assertion, it seems to us that - whereas the study of out of place birds may not have the glamour of the hunt for bigfoot, or lake monsters - it is still a perfectly valid area for the Fortean Zoologist to be interested in. So, after about six months of regular postings on the main bloggo, Corinna has taken the plunge and started a 'Watcher of the Skies' blog of her own as part of the CFZ Bloggo Network.

TODAY'S BIG CAT ROUND UP

The hunt for British Big Cats attracts far more newspaper-column inches than any other cryptozoological subject. There are so many of them now that we feel that they should be archived by us in some way, so we should have a go at publishing a regular round-up of the stories as they come in. In September 2012, Emma Osborne decided that the Mystery Cat Study Group really deserved a blog of its own within the CFZ Blog Network.

Here is the latest tranche of news...

I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

So, tuesday lunchtime is here, and things are just about getting back to normal. The car will apparently need four hundred quid spent on it to make it legal for another year, but on balance it is probably worth it. Graham is trying to finish the bathroom ceiling repairs before Corinna gets home, with mother, and a pair of Chinese spiny toads. All four will have to be tended to, fed and watered. Dave B-P and the lovely Jess H will be here imminently to do stuff relating to the Barnstaple Museum exhibition. So, it all happens.

So it all happens tonight, the mighty Michael Des Barres appears on the English-speaking world's most popular TV show, NCIS. I suspect that lots of our readers will be watching it.

I have been under the weather for the last few days, but last night, through the magick of the BBC iPlayer, Richard and I watched The Beatles much maligned 1967 film Magical Mystery Tour together with an Arena documentary about it.

The Gonzo Daily is a two way process. If you have any news or want to write for us, please contact me at jon@eclipse.co.uk. If you are an artist and want to showcase your work, or even just say hello please write to me at gonzo@cfz.org.uk. Please copy, paste and spread the word about this magazine as widely as possible. We need people to read us in order to grow, and as soon as it is viable we shall be invading more traditional magaziney areas. Join in the fun, spread the word, and maybe if we all chant loud enough we CAN stop it raining. See you tomorrow...

The Gonzo Daily is - as the name implies - a daily online magazine (mostly) about artists connected to the Gonzo Multimedia group of companies. But it also has other stuff as and when the editor feels like it. The Editor is an old hippy of 53 who - together with his orange cat - puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, and a motley collection of social malcontents.

Plus.. did we mention the orange cat?
