Whooping Cranes
Posted Nov 28, 2003
The whooping Cranes migrating with microlights from Wisconsin to Florida are stalled through the wrong kind of weather. This trip is taking much longer than the last two, but the cranes, all 16 of them, are behaving very well. They are flying so well I think they will make rapid progress once the wind is in the right direction, and the weather fit to fly. The birds taken down for the last two years, have beaten them to Florida on their own!
Great stuff, and proves that humankind could begin to put things right, with the will to do it. Take heed, John Ridway, all is not lost for the albatrosses.

Albatross Journey
Posted Nov 28, 2003
So glad to know that John Ridgway will get my message. They are so far away from "civilisation" in a very rough place. Wouldn't change places, with them, but so admire their courage. Looked up their adventure school. It is pretty isolated at their home in Scotland too. I hope they find Melbourne a bit warmer when they get there.

Confused!
Posted Nov 24, 2003
I really must come back to h2g2 and find out what I am supposed to be doing. Still, as a silver surfer getting this far is probably quite an achievement.
I like to chat when I have time, so if there are any other "confused" newbies out there please get in touch.
