In the low fields of Mlawula

The last 2 weeks I have been again to Mlawula Game Reserve, where we have our Camp to do research work in this area. The plan had been to check Maraboo Stork nests, do a fire break, check some more cycades sites and redo some signs in the camp here. Unfortunately there have been some troubles with the owner of Hlane National Park, where we have been supposed to check the nests :o(.

So we started with the painting of the signs. During the day the clouds overcasted more and more the sky, and the rain started during our lunch break. So we just played cards the rest of the day. … Due to the rain we also couldn’t do our fire break :o(. So we ended up painting the whole 2 weeks. But it had been a lot of fun, as we have been a great team. I really enjoyed the last 2 weeks.

Also very exciting had been, that Andy, who is actually writing a study about vautures, got a dead wildebeest, which he brought to an open place and where he had a hiding place, to vidiofilm them eating. Unfortunately the vautures didn’t come ;o(
