Another Day Patrolling

 
Well, today is Sunday and just another routine day at SanWild.  We patrolled some of our high risk areas today looking for fresh sign of poacher activity.  None was found but we did find a lot of old snares (shown below), including a cable snare (probably the worst kind) and one with a very elaborate knot.  The weather remains absolutely miserable, and I am on rhino guard all night!  Ms. Dig has posted my stuff on Monday morning, which means only one more week of cold until it arrives!


Today's snare collection.  All of them were old ones, but still dangerous to the wildlife.

Two of the more dangerous ones, a cable snare and a 'hangmans' type knot.

I finally got a couple of decent photographs of some wildebeest today, which are probably our most common animal.

One of our 'mobs' of wilderbeest.

A good action shot captured on the 'ancient' camera (pure luck)!
