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’?

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?
