Bird cry like a Baby

This is a common mynah, closely related to starlings who are also great mimics. They will happily mimic sounds around them and I have heard one in Sydney, Australia (where they are introduced) copy a mobile phone ring tone. This one has obviously living near a house with a newborn baby. Quite incredible and not a fake.

I love birding in Central Park and enjoyed the setting of this interview as much as the film itself.

"The Big Year" Interview

The Big Year (2011) Movie Trailer HD

I was recommended this film by a friend and I have to say I really enjoyed it because it brought back memories of my own 'Big Year' in the UK in 2003. A close friend of mine had mentioned a desire to see 300 species in the UK in a calendar year and I agreed to help him achieve his goal. I had no idea what a journey...and a challenge.....it would be. In the space of 12 months we covered most of the British Isles....from the Scottish Highlands and the Welsh Borders to the flatlands of East Anglia and the urban heart of London. We even spent a day on a ship watching seabirds around the Isles of Scilly. The sense of satisfaction when a bird was successfully identified and added to the total is hard to describe. We had luck....good and bad. And lots of laughs. And a great sense of achievement on reaching a total of 306 species. For me, perhaps, as a geographer it was simply having an excuse to spend time in some amazing landscapes that is possibly the most memorable aspect of the year.This film evoked some fantastic memories and it dwells appropriately on the relationships that develop on your adventures....I thoroughly recommend it.

The REAL World Map - You are being lied to

Well....not quite. The Peters projection has been part of standard geographical teaching in secondary school in theUK for quite some time now and Oxfam have been selling them for years... in my school there is also an 'upside-down' copy of the world map I purchased in Australia a few years ago outside our library with the heading 'How do you see the world?'. We do become very familiar with the particular projection of the earth with which we are routinely presented, but projecting a spherical earth onto a flat surface...the page of an atlas or a map..can be done in a number of ways, each with its particular advantages and disadvantages. What they say about area comparisons and the Mercator Projection in this clip is true....and how does that slant our world view, particularly in terms of perceptions of the 'Third World'? UK students are used to seeing the Mercator projection with Greenwich, London centrally-placed along the Meridian......there are many examples of countries that start with themselves as the centre point of a world map and it certainly challenges students' ability to identify countries when outside the comfort zone of the familiar. I wouldn't describe it as conspiracy or a lie however....far too dramatic....but an interesting point to debate.
