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...

SHERI MYLER THE CFZ INTERN: Day Seven


Sheri Myler, our student who is doing a series of placements with us over the next year or so is back for her second stint. Once again, I am putting her to work and she will be blogging each day about her time here...



My last full day at the CFZ began with me doing quite a bit of the Eberhart book on my own as, for some reason, it wasn’t working properly on Jon’s computer. So, he got on with other things instead and even had a nap, as he wasn’t feeling well. We were eventually able to get it to work on Jon’s computer so started putting pictures in then.

A little later, Helen, Jess and Matt came bearing gifts. They had rescued six newts from the pond that they are getting rid of and brought them round for Jon to put into the pond that he’s building.

Also, they witnessed one of the cats attacking a mouse in the garden. They rescued that as well. We kept it inside until it was no longer in shock, but when it was released again, it didn’t run off, so it had to be brought back inside. Another mouse was later seen scurrying under a chair.

As this was to be the last cat hunt of my trip, we decided to make it extra long. Despite this, it was the least eventful. We did accidentally find ourselves in Cornwall again, and the mist and bald trees did give the atmosphere a spooky quality. But, alas, the most wildlife we saw was a single moth. It was still a nice drive though.
