Releasing Brown Hyena
Carrying Brown Hyena

I am still at Moholo, it feels like home now I have been here so long. I have about another week left here, not sure if I'm leaving on the 5th, 6th or 7th of October yet. I think I have to get out a bit more, as those of us who have been here for a while begin to go a bit mad!
Another quite week, just normal rounds, although we did release and collar a Brown Hyena yesteday which was nice. I can now say I have kicked a Hyena in the bum!! It was waking up quicker than we would have liked, and we had to get it into the cage quickly. Because it was so awake it put its paws out to stop itself from being pulled and pushed in, so after trying to push it in with our hands, I used my foot-definately a unique experience.
We have had really mild weather here recently, rain for a couple of days (I had almost forgotten what it looked like) thunder and lightening and the most amazing wind. It has all cleared up now,and is now stinking hot again and we are back to sweating!
I have heard great things about Tuli, the next project I am going to and cant wait until I get there-it is more basic than here, camping out and not sure if there is electricity or much mobile reception.
In answer to some of your questions:
The long pants are light weight, but the shirt is just a normal t-shirt so quite warm, and combined with hiking boots, makes for a toasty outfit.
Winston is a Wood Owl, so cute, when you go in to clean him or feed him he talks to you, and we talk back (yes I have been in the bush for too long, need some more human contact)
We were moving Xianandi between camps, and I was the first one to put my hand up for who liked Cheetahs. When told to get into the car I was somewhat shocked, and not sure but was well worth it!!! And yes I was locked in with her, so coulnt have got out if I had wanted to.
