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 DAY 3

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...


This day was much the same as the previous one. Again I did not do the animal rounds and spent much of the day type-setting the Eberhart book. Today it was “K”, “L” and the beginning of “M”. This was the primary task of the day.

A healthy supplement to this was a drive out to the B&B of a family friend of the CFZ, to see their animals. These included a snowy owl, a harris hawk, three pregnant goats, various finches and two barn owls and two hedgehogs which were still asleep and, so, we didn’t really get to see them. We then stopped by one of the smallest and best maintained churches in the area to have a little look at the renovations.

The cat hunt was again fairly thrilling, though not as much so as the night before last. During a good lengthed drive, around some areas we hadn’t been before on the cat hunts, we saw two animals. We got a good view of a deer running away from us and a very good view of a badger which ran away at first, but then turned around to face us, before hopping out of sight, into the hedge.
