Hegi spent another night raiding our traps. Here's a photo of him running free after his latest weighing.
After checking all the traps, we took them all in, as they are normally only set out for a three-day stretch. Plus, we're going to be out of the field for the next two days, and they cannot stay out unattended.
Following that, Michael and David set off to survey an old clearing that had been made on the property for the GPS map, and the rest of us took up the tools and set off for trail clearing, as we were all really keen on it now. Alice is now reknowned for her love of the hacksaw, and Matthew even bought her one so she doesn't have to give it up to let someone else use it!
We also checked the weather stations that we had put out the day before. These are simple contraptions that can measure rainfall, windspeed and direction, and temperature. However, they do not 'log' the measurements so they have to be checked everyday to get a snapshot of the weather.
Not much had happened in the past day. No precipitation and no wind to speak of.
We returned to the house early and had a few hours to check out the nearby beach. A rocky cove, that looked picturesque in the gathering weather.
