Success at last!

Howzit guys,
First of all, let me apologise for the delay of the update. I arrived back home to find that we had reached our internet limit for February. I blame Facebook! Also, being a stickler for tidiness, I have tried to organise the posts into different categories but this may have caused some confusion. Please let me know if you would prefer me to lump all the blogs together, regardless of subject matter.

The almost record rainfall we had earlier this season has caused an amazing explosion of vegetation. Unfortunately, the grass is now very high and thick, which really hinders our trackers. This, combined with a lack of recent information on the packs’ locations, makes finding the dogs extremely difficult.
However, now that the landowners and scouts have realised that the project is back in full swing, they are starting to radio in sightings that we can follow up, and we finally managed to track down the collared Maera pack (twice), so things are definitely progressing.

While we were watching the Maera pack resting a few days ago, one young upstart had had enough of our proximity and approached the vehicle. He started to make short, gruff barks while stomping both his front paws in our direction. This activity alerted the rest of the pack, but, apart from a few uncertain barks, they weren’t too bothered and just moved further away from us. We will have to keep an eye on this troublemaker!

Currently, we only have one spare wheel, so any puncture means a hasty return to base, as I don’t want to risk being stranded in the bush should I get another. Fortunately, Antonio C has made a generous donation and I’m hoping that it will be used to buy another spare, which will really help with keeping the team going in the field. Thanks Antonio.

Talking about being stranded, earlier this week I tried to cross the Msaize River in our new Ford Ranger and got it stuck. Unbeknowst to me, this had been witnessed and, much to my embarrassment, there was a small army of workers and a tractor on the scene almost immediately. The workshop manager then got in the Ranger and charged it across, no problem. Therefore, any donations of dignity or pride will also be gratefully received!

Sarai zvakanaka,

Mike

I think you could lump them all together. There are so many blogs on WD now that it’s better to find everything in as few locations as possible!

Great picture of the Maera pack. I like the troublemaker, so don’t be too hard on him/her. That’s a smart dog.
