It was the morning after we set the camera traps and every-one was very excited to see what was photographed last night.
So without any avail, here are some of the photos that were captured last night...
These are the photos we found on Camera A
Jip, that was just a scrub hare...
Then.....
Oh, this is much better, a Brown Hyena peeking around the scrub... Look at the 'bright headlights' ☺
.... and check out the left ear!
Here is another shot of the same one, just a bit closer but still very cautious and suspicious...
Camera B, C, D and E had nothing so let's check Camera F:
... wonder whether he was speeding?
Camera Trap G....
Well, well who do we have here?
Jip, it is the same visitor, the Brown Hyena that was photographed on camera A...
How did we know that?
Check that left ear? Looks a bit 'floppy', doesn't it?
Yea, we'll just name her Floppy Ear. ...and that is how she got her name!
She doesn't like these strange things, so off she sprints....☻
(these are photos from a camera with an infrared flash)
Camera H also had no photos...
At least we are able to to identify the Brown Hyena, by matching the recognisable floppy ear with an equally easy identifiable track of which we also made an imprint.
The rest of the day we walked the roads and bush trails looking for predator tracks and recording what we discovered.
This was it for today folks, read the next blog tomorrow!

Hi Ben,
Dankie dat jy die fotos publiseer. In Meimaand toe ons daar was het ons een aand asook die volgende oggend iets gehoor wat geklink soos 'n liederlike geweeklaag. Die klank was 'n heserige lae klank, en dit het weergalm daar naby Chalet17 waar die dier verby beweeg het. Ek het gereken dit moet seker die stem van'n Heina wees, alhoewel dit nie die wisslende toonhoogtes gehad het wat ek geken het nie. Die foto van die Heina bevestig dalk my vermoede.
Groete
Philip
