Elephant Huddle: Video

So begins a new month, with another month on its back and launching into the next only just remembering to breathe. Now I’m all for a challenge, but today I had the wool pulled over my eyes as I ambled over to the dogs expecting to find them where I left them. This was not to be, they have completely eluded me! I tried every high point I could to get a lock on those dogs, but to no avail.

I picked up on Alan’s leopard though, so I thought if I headed East towards it I might pick up on the dogs at the same time – no dogs! The Leopard I found up a tree, he was not too happy with me. I think he’s used to Alan, but may need a bit more work before he loses his camera shyness. I was also happy to find Elephant, I haven’t seen any for a while now. A lone Bull thought he would try to play some games with the car, nothing serious though, just making sure we weren’t there to do him any harm.

As the sun set leaving Sosigi Hill in darkness, I stumbled across a lone Hyena at Nhoro Pan. He was just as elusive as everything else today, I think he had a den nearby, which he promptly disappeared into. I had a quick look around, but didn’t find anything in the dark, I would like to go back and have a better look tomorrow.

Although it was an eventful Sunday, I still wonder what these dogs are up to.
