First thing in the morning I checked out Manyuchi pan and found tracks of adult wild dogs. At least they’re still in the area and presumably the pups are holed up somewhere in the hills. But I just can’t figure out where. I thought I had covered all the area on foot, but obviously not.
I’ll try flying again tomorrow but this time concentrating on the hills.
There was nothing happening at the hyaena den and I found this youngster heading south from Manyuchi and into the hills.
Yesterday I had seen 2 females go the same way. Wondering what was up there I followed. The trail went right over the mountain and down the other side. So where are they going? I think with Manyuchi pan drying up they might be heading down to drink at the dam.
For most of the rest of the day I was stuck in the office. I suppose I can’t complain when it’s only 1 or 2 days a month, and I still get out at dawn and dusk.
At Hwata pan several bulls were messing around on the edge of the pan at sunset. They really weren’t keen on the dirty water, being used to clean water when they are pumping in to the pan. But for the next few days they’ll have to make do with what there is. Spoilt little boys!
