Happy New Year to all! I've been a bit slack posting during December, partly because of all the diversions and partly due to having to chase after problems with our hosting service, which took a lot of time.

Listen to Ron's interview on Conscious Animal Radio at BlogTalk Radio on Monday 8 December  -US EST 12.00 noon hosted by Christine Agro.  Ron talks about when Scotty and Benny first met Maggie, codes of conduct amongst the birds and they care for the sick.  

Christine will also interview Marc Bekoff on the emotional lives of animals.

My telescope is in our breakfast room pointed at Vicky's nest, and when I looked this morning, no baby to be seen! This called for a trip across the fields to visit the nest.

Vicky's bubs are very late this year, due to the whole family stopping their normal activities when Sophie was sick. And a week ago one of the two bubs in the nest disappeared. It was there one morning and gone that afternoon. I searched the land under the nest thoroughly, but found no dead bird, so we fear that maybe a hawk or a goanna took it.

Just a quick note to tell you about a remarkable thing that happened this morning.
