on Why We Believe That Thomas Jefferson Would Have Loved Londolozi

Interesting blog Tom. There is definitely a change in weather patterns this year. Last winter was not cold at all. Maybe not a drought quite yet, but after a few very wet years the climate is changing. Let’s hope for a very cold winter this year.

Thank you Tom. I throughly enjoyed your post and like you, I believe that Thomas Jefferson would have fallen in love with Londolozi!

I have been told that the weaver birds build high if there is to be a wet summer (rivers flooding) and low if there is to be a drought. My Zulu gardener is probably right! He also said the Glossy Starling is called ‘Star of the Morning’ in Zulu because it is the first to call in the early dawn and wakes the farmers up to work in the fields.

I enjoyed reading your informative blog Tom. As usual you provide some interesting insights and raise some compelling questions. Your abstract of Jefferson’s work shows that despite the complexities of the natural world, much can be learned and predicted with the combination of meticulous observation and an inquiring mind. No digital camera needed!

Absolutely love this post. Makes for a great read and really raises some important observations over the past few months. Thank you, Tom, for sharing… As always!

Thank you Tom for the very interesting blog and reminder that we can all do our part in helping to heal the damage that has been done to the Earth. In Canada, seeing the Robins arrive back from their winter migration, has always been our first sign that spring has arrived, but in the past two winters I have been stunned to look outside and see the odd Robin still with us through the winter. This is a bird who eats worms and insects and was eating the birdseed, peanuts and suet that I was putting outside in feeders during the winter for our year round birds, such as Cardinals and Blue Jays. So, we are also seeing birds skipping their migration, as well as more rainfall and flooding in our summer and colder, more severe weather during the past two winters. It’s interesting to hear from different parts of the world as to the changes in climate and animal behaviour that have been noted.

You prove that philosophy is for us all. We loved your spin on the world. Thought provoking. To read this now, just like on game drives. Lucky us! Turned into miliant recyclers.
So want to return.
Tom, you represent the best, of a lot of bests, of Londolozi.
