Just a quick hello from the mountains, there's a lot of
variable weather right now. I spent time
with Asa yesterday at about 2800m, it was probably the most exhausting day of
the project so far, heavy rain and then snow made steep slopes very slippery...
and it was bloody cold. The young
leopard was in great shape however and I managed to lead him to a new area
which I had scouted for many hours the day before. So the day was a success. I could not get images in the jungle as the
conditions were too bad and I have equipment issues right now but the physical
effort and cold was worth it, I feel good about how things are placed. Tomorrow eleven months of the project,
effectively from the day I met Asa. So
much has happened but the next two months are the most critical in these
conditions, I'm realistic but optimistic.
I'll post images of Asa when I can, cheers Jack.
