Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.

Fable the Raven | Raven speaks and sings...hidden camera!


After many requests to do this a second time, I managed to fix a camera in a corner of the aviary for a second time and caught some more of Fable's antics whilst I'm not around. She was in a very chatty mood and even decided to sing a little song for us!

Red-billed Blue Magpie
just returned early from a trip to Nam Nao NP heavy rain and thunder stopped play. This bird was very friendly before the heavens opened. Down here, back home, it's sunny and hot.

Javan pond heron in its elegant breeding plumage. It allowed me close to take this one and he was undisturbed catching prey in the lake. Nice time of year to look at herons, love the light colour and contrast of this species. @Avibase @orientbirdclub #birdwatching #birds

Information Overload is the Bane of my Life


My daily struggle is to understand what is important, to my situation, in the constant barrage of information on the Internet.  


What can and should be ignored?  

Is my purpose to seek distraction, novelty and entertainment? 

Or is the goal and purpose to my Net Surfing to gain valuable knowledge?  

What do I hope to accomplish?



“There are things that attract human attention, and there is often a huge gap between what is important and what is attractive and interesting."

Yuval Noah Harari   

  

And Donald Trump has not helped make being informed easy with all his mixed messages.


“If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.”
