Throughout the summer three of the fox cubs have been regularly seen outside the earth, allowing us to follow their development. It’s been interesting over this period to observe their individual characteristics as they grow. From the outset one of the three was becoming the dominant individual. Often both initiating the sparring and winning the…
Rural Foxes
For some time we have known that our local common was home to a number of rural foxes. We’d seen one carrying off a rabbit and occasional heard them calling at the start of the mating season. In 2016 we invested in a trail camera to record the comings and goings of the hedgehogs in…
Wildlife in Lockdown
Since early March this year life has been very different in North West Norfolk. This was because of Lockdown. Unfortunately, we were unable to explore our usual local wildlife patches and reserves. Due to Coronavirus the majority of them had been closed. Therefore we decided to use our daily exercise routine to take a closer…
Cahuita National Park
Leaving Evergreen Lodge we started our journey south to Cahuita National Park. We were at the dock at 9.00 in the torrential rain. While we were waiting we watched three Strawberry Blue Jean Frogs eating ants in the leaf litter. With the luggage loaded onto one boat, we headed back to Siquirres pier. Progress along…
Tortuguero National Park
Next morning we had an early wake up call from the nearby howler monkeys. Tortuguero is a wildlife enthusiast heaven. Capuchin monkeys climbed in the branches near the dock where we had morning coffee. Blue jean tree frogs jumped amongst the leaf litter next to the track. Across the river an osprey perched at the…
Sparrowhawks in the garden
Living in a village in rural Norfolk there’s always plenty of birds in our wildlife friendly garden. During the summer we often caught a glimpse of a Sparrowhawk flying over the gardens. Obviously on the look out for its next meal. On one occasion we had the opportunity to capture an image of a one…
Morning Bird Drive at Satpura
It was the last day at Satpura NP before heading home, on an overnight flight. But before we leave there was just enough time for an early morning bird drive. This will take us slowly through the villages and farmland between Reni Pani and the river. Then along the forest edges, beside a canal and…
Satpura’s East Buffer Zone
After coffee and cake it was time to leave on our evening safari to the East Buffer Zone. The first time we had been there. This zone had more interaction with the local village and because of this had encountered problems. With Tigers, Leopards, and Dhole crossing the river and attacking the local cattle. The…
Morning Drive in Satpura
Another early start began with coffee and a biscuit and a drive in the dark to the river crossing for a morning safari in Satpura. As we reached the crossing a flock of Red Wattled Lapwings flew across in front of us, heading down to the rivers edge. Entering the park we saw a large…
Twilight in Satpura’s west buffer zone
We left the lodge at 4.30 p.m. and drove along the track onto the tarmac road and through the villages, to the entrance to the buffer zone. Our naturalist and driver was Aly Rashid, the owner of Reni Pani Lodge and a member of the royal family of Bhopal. As we drove past Spotted deer,…
