Happy new year everyone

 

There has been talk every now and then about the lack of traffic on this listserver, whether it is worth continuing with it etc…

 

I am not the moderator and plan to keep on subscribing. But I think there is an audience out there interested in mammals worldwide so I have just begun a mammal watching blog to accompany my mammalwatching.com website.  I hope this might (slowly) become a platform for the world’s mammal watchers to share snippets of information, requests for information, trip reports and so on. I’ll also use it to announce updates to my site.

 

The blog is at www.mammalwatching.wordpress.com

 

If you would like to become a contributor to the blog just drop me an email and I will set you up as an author (it is a much easier way to share photos and videos than using a list server) and its also an easier way to look at archived material I think.

 

If you visit the blog you can sign up for a notification service that will send you an email any day new stuff is posted – so at most you will receive one email a day though my guess is that if there is a new message more than once a week it will be more popular than I expect.

 

In the meantime, I will try to new posts to mammal-aus to the blog as well. If anyone doesn’t want me to do that for any reason then please let me know.

 

Cheers

 

Jon
