Hi, all -
The following RFI was sent to us from the BBC in the UK.  Does anybody have
any comments?

>I was wondering if you have any information on animals being aware of  an
impending disaster  eg the Sydney fires, before the event happened and
certainly before humans had cause for concern.  I have a friend  here who
knows someone in NSW who says there was no Dawn Chorus the day before the
fires started. I wondered if you know of :-

>a) Naturalists working the field who noticed this? 
>b) Scientists studying this behaviour?
