On one day a family of four bolted from under a low canopy no more than a few meters in front of me. I’m not sure who was more surprised! Spending time in their habitat is a valuable learning experience reading their ways by different spore. It required me to tune into my sixth sense. In one area, which had been partly forested, the tree stumps had become perfect itching posts – inspirational!” (HM)
