Friday
The meticulous research is catching up to me. Taking pictures of the vegetation around ant trap sites; I have to note down the photo numbers on my camera and correlate them to which trap it belongs. Then I also have to note the coordinates, which of Paul's marked sandy zone the trap is found in and how the trap was placed.
Yesterday I went through all the samples and took macro photos of over 60 ants using a camera and lens borrowed from Graham: see photo below.
We then went out at night hoping to have a better chance of finding the signals on Okolunu, but had no luck.
Today I got up late; 8.30am! as we had returned around midnight before. Had a very relaxed morning. And then afternoon we went to the hole we found Okolunu, took some photos and admitted that (s)he is gone. Then Paul and I stayed at the hide on the plain for a while just watching.
P.S. - There was a grass snake in the house-compound earlier.
