My main focus at Suikerbosrand was to photograph some more "grassland/bush veld" species, but this location was just to good to pass up, and it paid off. I was hoping for some Common Duiker here.

I placed the camera higher up a tree than usual for a different angle and I think it turned out well.

By comparing their horns I would guess these photographs are of 3 males. The females don't have horns.

With so much male activity around one would have expected to see a female in the area, but I didn't photograph any females during the short time camera trapping over Christmas.

I'm behind on posting, so there is still plenty to come. I'll be wrapping up Suikerbosrand soon, and then I'll finally share some statistics from my Tygerberg camera trapping.
Good finds. The s600 seems quick enough for porcupines.
ReplyDeleteYes it is pretty fast but mine still suffers from lens-gear-failure every now and again. Then I have to bash it around until it works smoothly again. Maybe later this year I'll have the time and money to make a new homebrew :)
DeleteThanks for all the comments.
I like the perspective of the camera looking down. We played around with a few sets like this with a Bushnell but not he Sony yet. This post is a great reminder to give the homebrew a bird's-eye view.
ReplyDeleteWhy he is wagging his tail? He knows that there is something up there :-)
