It has been some week. The most challenging so far by a mile! After a few days of walking transects, being bitten by ants, stung by wasps, and a lot of falling over, it was time to go and collect the first of our camera trap footage. It was also time for the rain to start pouring down and some of the tents to start leaking. We made it to the cameras only to find there had been several technical problems (hopefully all sorted now though). However, our sound recorders seem to have worked very well. While we won’t be able to analyse the data captured on these properly until our return to the UK, it appears they have been working exactly how we wanted them to.
While some of the team have travelled home to see their families, we have spent the last couple of days recuperating at the beach during a well earned break. It has been nice eating some different food! We were able to find pancakes (happy belated pancake day!), pizza and burgers which made a nice change from rice and spaghetti. However, it’s back to camp this afternoon for another week. We are both feeling more energised and are ready to find out for what the next few days have in store for us and our data collection… hopefully less rain and ants!
