Um.. You got the contrast wrong. If you would have softened up the “Monkey” and teen a tad of the detail away to blend in to the pictures backround and not so dark on the monkey, well it may have been good, you just did Not Go the extra mile to pull this off. I give you a “c” for trying, and an “F” in Execution of manipulation.. Overall, bad job at the very best…sorry.. Not real…

That is very strange. I just did a search for “www.audleyblog.com” using Yahoo.co.uk which I am assuming is the same as using the Yaoo toolbar, and our blog came up in first place. So I am afraid I have no answer to that one!

I loved the doco on Lady Liuwa, so sad she didn’t have babies of her own. It must have been so hard for Herbert not to allow her to come up to him and let her instigate a closer bond (touching). Amazing respect for wildlife photographers and National Park staff for the jobs they do (envy as well), the footage in this film was brilliant. I do hope she is still alive? Going to name my next cream kitten after her.

I see that the African National Parks website has been through a recent redesign.

Unfortunately, one side affect of this is that the various news pages about Lady Liuwa – which I had linked to and which went into some detail about her – have now disappeared. I have therefore removed these links.

Surprisingly, there doesn’t appear to be any information about Lady Liuwa on their site anymore. That said, I will check periodically to see if this changes and will of course let you know of any future developments.

I watched “The Last Lioness” last night on Channel 7 here in Sydney and was moved to tears, I would like to thank all involved for making a story so heart wrenching, an amazing lady and so tough.

I have just seen the documentary about Lady Liuwa and am also interested in knowing the current situation at the Park, regarding the lions. I have looked at the African Parks website and found nothing apart from a 2008 photo of Lady Liuwa. The link provided by Shaun comes up with the message that the link can’t be found.

Can anyone help with news?
Ann

It is a bit sad that the links dont work but I really would like to know the progress of the relocations. The story of Lady Liuwa on TV was incredible. Are you doing regular updates on her/their progress?

I have just watched the story about Lady Liuwa, which left me wanting more information so I promptly got on here. I am deeply saddened to read that she has never had cubs, I would love to hear about what is going on with her now, if there have been cubs born to the other females, if Lady Liuwa is okay and if the pride is thriving? Please update on all progress? Thanks.

Comment on Our top 10 travel apps by THuntington

THuntington — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 07:46:42 +0000

Excellent list! Been using Google Translate and it sure is helpful when conversing with the locals. I’ve just downloaded 25 things to do in Milan since I’ll be heading there soon, and I think it’s actually a good travel app because it lists 25 of the best POIs in Milan along with their description and it has a map that works offline. Also on top of my must-have travel app list is Instagram as it is great for taking vacation moments and sharing them for others to see. Easy currency is another app I’m using for currency conversion. Thanks for this post. Will try to use some of the apps that you’ve listed. Keep on posting!

Comment on Paya Ngoto School, Burma – Audley’s Final Term report by Philip Engelen

My wife and I were in Burma when the cyclone hit in 2008, and very well remember the utter chaos throughout many parts of the southern part of Burma, and yet, central and northern Burma were hardly hit at all. I think that it’s great what you have been doing and great to see the country back on it’s feet again after such a hammer blow. My wife and I would love to return to Burma, the people are all so friendly and long suffering, but always with a smile.

Looking at a trip to Cuba (possibly) some time in August 2012.
What do you have about that time or what can be designed?

A quick update on this story…

There are still no cubs for Lady Liuwa and the prospects of this ever happening are now very unlikely it seems.

However some good news is that two lionesses have been relocated to Liuwa Plain National Park, in the hope that they will eventually produce a viable lion population in the area by breeding with the two lions that were originally introduced for Lady Liuwa.

I wish there were a way for our sweet lioness to become a mom! Why aren’t there fertilty drugs for lions and other endangered speices like her? I think this would help animals like her.

Is Lady Liuwa still alive and well, think she would be an old lady now and being looked after safely after all she has been through? Did she ever have cubs although I expect it would have been broadcast if she had? Manton

I have just received the update on the tranlocation of the new young lionesses. I have my fingers crossed for this next step in the story of the Liuva plains pride saga. My thoughts are with all involved. Good luck with next piece of work in this long haul. Kate

I have just met your journalist client, Ms Howdan and her two children. They love the programs with the elephants very much. I brought them to the Railway Market in Maeklong too. That was really another highlight.
