Kadri Mohamed/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images (NEW YORK) -- Canadian wildfires are impacting states as far south as Georgia, with New York City experiencing some of the worst air quality in the world. The wind conditions that are bringing plumes of smoke south are expected to last for several more days, experts say, as some fires in Canada continue to burn out of control. The smoke is primarily from several wildfires burning in Quebec that is being blown south in a narrow band by an intense storm system around Nova Scotia that has not moved in several days, according to Mark Wysocki, an air pollution meteorologist who teaches at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.

The growing popularity of the Camino de Santiago has spurred the revival of a newly marked 68.5-mile pilgrimage in south-east England. I was balancing on one leg, arms outstretched like a scarecrow. I turned my head in slow motion to look for my shoe over my right shoulder, which made my standing leg and arms flail like an inflatable tube man. I retreated back to my one-legged scarecrow, unsure of what to do next.  It was a stormy afternoon and I was stuck in a cabbage field in rural Berkshire.

Woozy's vet care (and subsequent general care and behaviour work) was all made possible by donations from animal lovers to RSPCA South Australia.
