I hope he is for real…I want them to be un-extinct more than I want to see them for myself!

Social Media workshop

Guunar Engblom is rapidly becoming birding’s most enthusiastic social media networker, using Twitter and Facebook to promote his excellent blog. To be honest we here at 10,000 Birds aren’t quite convinced of the benefits, but perhaps the best way for mild sceptics to find out for sure would be to join Gunnar’s FREE 31 Day Social Media Workshop. The details do sound interesting, Gunnar is one heck of an enthusiast, and clicking the link doesn’t commit you to anything…

Lolcats antidote

Easily offended? Think ‘cute’ pics of ‘cute’ cats saying ‘cute’ things in baby language is really - er, ‘cute’? Well most definitely DON’T read this sublime post on the very naughty Reservoir Cats because you’ll probably be unhappy and want to complain to someone who won’t listen. Everyone else - ENJOY!

The Birder’s Report becomes a Species Champion

Excellent news from Larry Jordan, the force behind The Birder’s Report: he’s joined BirdLife’s ‘Preventing Extinctions Programme’ as a Species Champion. The PEP focusses on saving the 192 most threatened birds on the planet, and with supporters with the conservation creds of someone like Larry perhaps it will become far better known in North America than currently. Let’s hope so - and who’ll be next to join I wonder?
