It's been awhile since I got an update posted, so here we go. I got back from Poland at the end of April, and have to say that trip was a complete success. I then had two days in Pretoria before I headed out to the Namaqualand to catch freckled nightjars and elephant shrews. Our original plan was to be there for two weeks, but we had so much trouble catching animals that we added a third week and still ended up with less than half the animals we were hoping for...sometimes biology is hard. I've been back in Pretoria for a few days now trying to dig out from under all the work that piled up while I was gone. We turn around and go back to the Namaqualand around the first of June to spend two months doing research. I can't wait, I love that place a little more each time I visit! Once I get to the Namaqualand, I will have very little email access, so contact will be limited.
