At the beginning of the 21st Century monsters still roam the remote, and sometimes not so remote, corners of our planet. It is our job to search for them. The Centre for Fortean Zoology [CFZ] is - we believe - the largest professional, scientific and full-time organisation in the world dedicated to cryptozoology - the study of unknown animals. Since 1992 the CFZ has carried out an unparalleled programme of research and investigation all over the world. Since 2009 we have been running the increasingly popular CFZ Blog Network, and although there has been an American branch of the CFZ for over ten years now, it is only now that it has a dedicated blog.

AS THE CROW FLIES

I suppose most of you have heard the expression As the crow flies 
meaning the shortest distance.  The implication is that crows fly in a straight line, unimpeded by obstacles.  However, they don't.  You'd think, if you had the entire sky to fly about in, that a straight line would be the wisest path to take, but crows no doubt think of reasons why other ways are preferable.

The word for a group of crows, by the way, is a murder.

Having read the above, reflect on the apothegm You learn something every day.
