FORTEAN BIRD NEWS FROM THE WATCHER OF THE SKIES

What has Corinna's column of fortean bird news got to do with Cryptozoology?

Well, everything actually!

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.

THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN HAS LESS THAN A WEEK TO GO

I slept over twelve hours last night

and since I woke up I've not stopped
I even wrote this porm once
and lost it loading photoshop

 

I got up at 2:30 and I sat down in my study
fully intending to work hard on the blogs
since then I've been a Counsellor, given Frunobulax his medicine
and done my best to remonstrate with recalcitrant dogs

 

I've telephoned my family, told them how much I love them
and threatened extreme violence if they don't do what they're told
I've helped edit a video, I've troubleshot a website
and it it any wonder that I'm starting to feel old

 

This evening Martin Eve is coming down with more video files
which it seems are to bulky for him to click and send
and I'm still running round the place just like a headless chicken
but its always like this just before our annual Weird Weekend
