Hi
I am sorry to anybody who has been or is still a member of this group.
Unfortunately I have not been able to keep it updated as I was away
for about 5 months. I am back home now and will try and find out the
current situation. Please try and keep this site active, Id
appreciate any ideas, new topics (lynx and non lynx related) anything. :)
Apologies once more, lets see if we can make a little difference,
again. Sounds like great news, back in April about the cubs, any news
recently about their condition?
Thanks
Robin
