My dear friend Gopi Sundar has finally lifted the veil on his stupendous insight into bird behaviour. His blog 'Sarus Scape' is now online and abuzz. He tags his blog 'Random Observations of a Wandering Naturalist' but that entire line is a euphemism for what he does best. His observations are far from random - they are marked by extraordinary scientific precision. And though he may like to imagine himself as a peripatetic hobo, his journeys are anything but wanderings - well, if you and I marked an entire state into little squares and transected each one to document its birdlife, we wouldn't call that wandering. But my friend has a yen for understatement.
Enough said. Please enjoy Sarus Scape.

Brian may shreds whaling

One of the better celebrity blogs is Brian May's. The Queen star posts regularly and actually interacts with his audience – and I'm impressed by his recent outspoken attack on the resumption of whaling by Japan. "I was looking at murderous Japanese boats going out to kill 1,000 intelligent, beautiful higher mammals ... the magnificent whales. And we all sit back and watch it happen?" he writes.
As Greenpeace reports, "If the countries that oppose whaling were putting one-tenth of the effort into ending it that the Japanese government invests in maintaining a sham research programme, whaling would have ended by now." If you'd like to sign Greenpeace's message to various world leaders to call Japan's Prime Minister Fukuda to stop whaling, click here.
