Zimbabwe Wild Dogs

Here, as promised, are some photos from Mozambique.  It really is a stunning coastline, and was a real privilege to spend time there.  I must say I needed the break too… You don’t get a lot of sleep when you are working on wild dogs in the day time and lions at night!

This is the bay that we stayed on (about 10m from the beach!)

Sunset from just outside my room….

And the beach again!

And, very excitingly for anyone who is interested in wildlife, we even saw a dugong!!  These are manatee-like aquatic mammals that inspired the mermaid myths (although it is hard to see why I must say, given how un-feminine they are!).  Nonetheless, an amazing and bizarre thing to see…

Anyway, I’m beginning to catch up with emails and other admin after the trip and will be out into the field again later today; I’ll let you know how the wild dogs are doing in a couple of days.

Back soon,
