Beginning of “winter” in the Chyulus

Filed under life in camp

Today is another day in the office, entering data from the Lion Guardians into the computer. The weather is good outside, but in the shade of the office it was cold and my feet were so freezing that I had to put on shoes, and put my computer on my lap to get some warmth. Amy has gone out with Seamus to track lions. I hope she will come back with some more photos of our local prides for you to see!

This month marks the beginning of cold weather here. But not nearly as cold as the weather I experienced in New York last year, when I went to attend a fundraising auction for the Lion Guardians and the Predator Compensation Fund. I couldn’t believe how cold it was then! Some parasites flourish in this type of weather; ticks especially are a nuisance right now, and will be the biggest problem to livestock and to us during field trips.

This photos show my desk in the office and to the right of my computer is a photo that was taken while I was in New York last year, of myself, Laurence and a friend of his at the auction. A perfect reminder of my trip.

Anyway that was my day; what about yours?
