Ann Novek has a New Blog
Posted by jennifer, at 07:03 PM
Ann Novek lives in Sweden. She was once a medical student, but quit to work as a wildlife rehabilitator. She works mostly with birds, and has a special interest in helping birds affected by oil spills.
Ann has also been a supporter of this blog, sending in wildlife photographs and also information about whaling. My favourite wildlife photograph from Ann was probably of the Arctic Fox.
Now Ann has her own blog: http://annimal.bloggsida.se
She plans to post on whaling, diseases amongst birds and wildlife accidents. I have always found Ann's 'wildlife accident photographs very distressing but it is important to be reminded of the suffering.
I wish Ann all the best with the new blog, and hope we can do some joint posts - even on wildlife accidents and even though I find the pictures distressing.

That picture is an avoidable scenario.
Wildlife carers and rehabilitators do great work and it is nearly always following in the footsteps of human error.
It is always sad when obvious prevention measures are not acted upon by authorities and people like Ann have to step in.
Much mitigation work has been done. Much more to do.

Good luck Ann. I have always enjoyed your contributions. A whiff of sanity from Scandinavia.

Anne: It bothers me that you may be too busy to come here again.
Folks: Anne has secret admirers downunder.

LOL Gavin!
To Jennifer ,
I will post a joint article from Iceland ( Frettabladid) next week on minke whale stocks . As some of you might already know , the minke whale stock has declined, according to their own scientists.
