Anyway, when are you coming round for tea and biscuits? We'll be home soon, after our trek through central Sweden. Perfect weather, +14C, lovely Autumn colours, empty roads. Moose on the menu at Sundsvall's Town Hall's restaurant on Fridays. Chocolate or Strawberry? No mooses seen on this drive, just a couple of deer in a field in southern Finland on Monday morning, and two deer yesterday in a field near Örnsköldsvik. Örnsköldsvik is of interest as now a plane leaves daily from our local airport to Stockholm, via Örnsköldsvik... a good way of getting to London. It carries mail and a few passengers. A little Fokker F50. |

There was a plane show a while ago in which a small German aircraft had an accident involving a bizarre unexpecred maneuver. Apparently it spun out of control and crashed into a TV camera crane.
A spokesman for the air accident investigation board commented "It was an unusual accident, we really don't know what happened to the Fokker."

In other news about two dozen dogs have been discovered wandering about. CcTV footage shows a van leaving the area so a criminal investigation has been started. Door to door enquiries have continued throughout the day but police still have no leads.

I'm lurking, keeping an eye on you all, or maybe ignoring you! Have to keep popping in for the Daily Planet news. Tis a bit quiet on that front though.

I know there's one lurking, I can smell it...
Foxes, like other animals, use scent to communicate and survive. They urinate to leave their mark, depositing a complex mix of chemicals to send messages to other foxes. Research by myself and colleagues has uncovered new information about these scents that could help control fox numbers.
Urine scent marking behaviour has long been known in foxes, but there has not been a recent study of the chemical composition of fox urine.
We found foxes produce a set of chemicals unknown in other animals. Some of these chemicals are also found in flowers or skunk sprays. One is so potent, a tiny leak was enough to force the evacuation of a building we were working in.
The results suggest a highly evolved language of chemical communication underlying foxes’ social structure and behaviour. Our research could help improve these methods and protect vulnerable native wildlife from one of Australia’s worst feral pests.
