Camtrap shots

We have a few camera traps on the estate that we use mainly on the rivers to document the otter and Water Mongoose populations. We have had sparse luck with the target species but we have captured some interesting species.The traps have also produced some fine shots of our more common animals.

This is a great shot. It's so Finsbury. SPK10

We have caught three different leopard individuals on the traps. One big male (but a poor shot), one younger male and a big female. The younger male and I had a close encounter, according to the camtrap, on the path to the Miner's hut where I was staying at the time. Got home late one evening and landed up walking the path in the dark. Check the date/time stamp on these two shots:

Male human on his way up...

Below is a selection of camtrap shots that we have on file.
