Moose Slobber and other Fine Stories!

Year 12

It was an eventful week at the Greenwood Bog. I finally swapped out Simm cards in my trailcams, and it was 100% necessary to wear full mosquito protection. See the video one of the trailcams took of the Greenwood Monster (i.e. me) arriving into the bog!

The Bull Moose (Pay attention to the video timelines. This Bull Moose obviously likes to have itself feature in multiple trailcams! After the slobber episode it was quite a while before that particular camera could take a decent image / video)(video link for email subscribers)
