A couple of cool links

Two great things I found while trawling the internet today. First off, in celebration of Sir David Attenborough's 80th birthday, the British public was asked to select their favourite moment from his outstanding wildlife shows. Some 13,000 people voted for this clip of a Superb Lyrebird's mimicry-filled display - makes you want to jump on the next plane to Australia! Sir David has been something of a role model to me, and has inspired a love of the natural world in millions of homes worldwide - happy birthday!

Next up, the amazing spectacle of a flock(!) of California Condors feeding on a beached Gray Whale along the Big Sur coast - these incredible pictures actually show the condors walking inside the whale's mouth.

Aren't birds cool...
