FORTEAN BIRD NEWS FROM THE WATCHER OF THE SKIES
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 took 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 are 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.
CRYPTO-ARTS: New Sea Serpent painting from Glen Vaudrey
a sneak peek of a painting that is of one of the most
famous sea serpent stranding’s the shockingly named Trunko. Here in this oil
painting we see Trunko in the post Hemmler era that is it’s a globster, a group
of folk gather around the fly blow remains on one evening.
I shall be listing this painting for sale on eBay within

30cm)
I am currently painting the pre Hemmler Trunko fighting a
couple of Killer Whales that painting is a 20x16 inch (50x40cm) I shall send a
photo of it as soon as I can
I hope you like it
All the best
Glen
A SHAMELESS PLUG
POSSIBLY THE COOLEST FREE MUSIC MAGAZINE IN THE WORLD
Gonzo #47 is now available for your delectation. I am very proud to say that we have several really rather cool exclusives this week. We have exclusive interviews with Erik Norlander (in which he not only reveals his new tour dates, but talks about what has happened to Asia featuring John Payne), Steve Ignorant (in which he reveals that he can actually sing, and I try to persuade him to do a Joni Mitchell cover), and Gary Clail (in which he drunkenly claims to be a Roman Emperor, and reveals his absolutely smashing new single) as well as all sorts of other stuff. If that isn't eclectic enough for you I will have to write about Beyoncé after all.
THIS WEEK WE BRING YOU ALSO BRING YOU STUFF ABOUT KEITH CHRISTMAS, ALICE IN WONDERLAND, MR AVERELL, THE ART OF DOING NOTHING, GALAHAD, AUBURN, NEIL NIXON, STRANGE FRUIT, STEVE HACKETT, JUDGE SMITH, BRAND X, MICK ABRAHAMS, MICK FARREN/ANDY COLQUHOUN, GARY WINDO, PHILIP CHEVRON, THE POGUES, ERIK NORLANDER, ASIA FEATURING JOHN PAYNE, STEVE IGNORANT, CRASS, GARY CLAIL, MICHAEL DES BARRES, FRANK ZAPPA, LIBBY LAWES, TREVOR RABIN, PAUL WHITROW, ROGER DEAN, JON DOWNES, CARPE NOCTEM, DISCIPLINE, ALAN MOORE, EIBON LA FURIES, IRON JAWS, BEYONCE, JAKKO, KLF, JOHN HIGGS, JAMMS, ALAN MOORE, DAN WOODING, KING SQUEALER, MAURICE O'MAHONEY, RICK WAKEMAN, ROB AYLING, HAWKWIND, YES, THE NINE HENRYS, AUBURN, LIZ LENTEN, PAUL McCARTNEY, MISS CRYSTAL GRENADE, DAVE BROCK.
And it is all free.
This is quite simply the best magazine you will ever find that is edited by a mad bloke (and his orange kitten), and produced from a tumbledown potato shed in North Devon. The fact that it is published with Gonzo Multimedia - probably the grooviest record company in the known universe - is merely an added bonus.
Thank you once again to Rob Ayling, the Gonzo grande fromage for allowing me the chance to do something as insane as this magazine, and above all a big thank you to YOU, the readers, for having borne out my assertion that there are indeed people who listen to both Crass and Fairport Convention and like everything from Prog Metal to Folk to Punk to Avant Garde noise. Frunobulax and I are truly not alone.

OLL LEWIS: Yesterday's News Today
http://cryptozoologynews.blogspot.com/
On this day in 2013 Pokemon X and Y will be released worldwide. New pokemon based on cryptids this time round include Noivern (based on Kongamato) and Malamar (based on the sea monk) and a new mega-evolution for Abomasnow (based on the yeti obviously). I'm getting my copy at a midnight launch event (this blog gets written hours in advance sorry for spoiling the magic) and I'm rather excited. In the words of Gary Oak “Smell ya later!”. (this should have lots of baby-boomers reading this scratching their heads and feeling confused as to what this blog was about)
