HI Frances - No I'm sorry but I haven't heard anything from Bluebird as I haven't been around for several weeks now. I've had 'flu and so has my partner so I've been otherwise occupied!
My daughter Lara may know something, if you leave a message for her.
Sorry I can't be more help.
Take care
Frankie
Hi Frances! Glad you and your husband are enjoying WE and learning about the lions in the area. Dozie hasn't been seen for a number of months now. No confirmation that he is dead as he may have just been pushed off by other males from the pride. The Nkuhuma pride itself have been keeping more to the North and East (even venturing into Kruger) in an attempt to keep the remaining cubs safe. They have ventured back into Djuma not too long ago. Reports of 5 to 6 of the lionesses with 5 to 6 cubs have been reported. 2 lionesses have been seen on their own and mating with the Manyeleti males. One of the surviving cubs apparently was killed by the Styx pride a few months back when it was separated from the pride and blinded by a spitting cobra. :( Such a beautiful pride. Hope they can pull themselves together and survive during this uncertain time. They once numbered 9 lionesses, 20 plus cubs and 2 of the most beautiful Males you would ever want to see... Blondie and Dozie.
Hello again Frances.
Was so nice meeting you in the forum this afternoon.
Have sent a request for you to be on my friends' list.
Do hope you will accept it.
Have a good night, and look forward to chatting with you tomorrow.

We have finally managed to get our live broadcast from Moholoholo wildlife rehabilitation centre working. Well there are a few problems with tree branches moving in front of the antenna which means the screen freezes every now and then but we can't chop out trees just for this broadcast. Having said that we have a plan to improve it and in the meantime we are getting some great day and night video of vultures, hyena and jackal to name just three species. Enjoy.
We've been hoping to find someone to help with our social networking in the USA for a while, then along came Deb Weston. Deb has been a supporter of the ILP for quite a while and came over to meet the team in Africa a few weeks ago. I'm pleased to announce that Deb has graciously offered to assist with social networking and fund raising for the ILP in the USA. So if you are in the USA, get in touch with Deb and let her know you are out there and care for the plight of wild leopards.
As most of you know, Kirsty Lynas has been working hard on social networking for the ILP in the UK ever since she finished her five month spell as a volunteer with us earlier this year.
Kirsty is continuing to work for us from the UK and co-ordinating with Deb who will cover the USA. Kirsty is also now managing the ILP membership scheme. All of those who have joined so far will be able to receive insider knowledge from Kirsty on a regular basis.
On that front, we need more folks to join the ILP membership scheme and soon, if we are to have any chance of saving the lives of Leopards. Sound dramatic? Well, a leopard was illegally shot this week and we were unable to prevent it.
That's one less leopard in the rapidly diminishing gene pool. If we all don't act soon there will be no leopards left in wild area's. That's no idle statement, our model shows a huge decline in the wild population. The genetic tipping point will come very soon, after which there will be no recovery. Please join the ILP membership scheme, we need your help.
