OLL LEWIS: Yesterday’s News Today

Yesterday’s News Today
http://cryptozoologynews.blogspot.com/

Friday can only mean it’s time for Fact Friday. Well, the dictionaries might have other ideas but what do they know? I picked up a dictionary once when I was visiting America and it was full of misspelled words, which is proof you can’t trust dictionaries. Anyway, before the fact there’s the small matter of the answer to yesterday’s trivia question. The answer was Scrooge McDuck, he of Ducktails (woo-woo) fame, along with several other Disney cartoons and comics. If you remember the series ‘Darkwing Duck’ Launchpad McQuack is no longer working for Scrooge and later in the series Gizmoduck turns up too, also sans Scrooge. The reason for this is that Darkwing Duck is set after Scrooge’s death, in 1967. For futher confirmation here’s a picture of Scrooge’s grave: http://duckman.pettho.com/history/hd1991_a.gif
Anyway, you’ll be wanting a fact now:

Contrary to popular belief, dogs and cats do see in colour, not black and white.

And now, after all that, the reason you’re reading this bloglett in the first place, the Cryptozoology news links (and bad pun, but we don’t talk about that):

Crop circles blamed on stoned wallabies
Survey shows boost to newt population
Peregrine Falcon shot in the Forest of Dean
Falcons poisoned in nesting site
Conservationists are 'choughed' as Cornish birds raise eight youngsters
Oystercatchers in Herefordshire
Peregrines at the Tate Modern
Saturn's Moon May Hide Watery Caverns - And Life?
Swifts are missing – Have you got any near you?

That is a worryingly ‘swift’ decline.
