At the camp there are Swifts-Swallows-Martins, at least two different kinds. Impossible to identify, for me 0*\
At midnight a Steenbok is taken by the camera trap.

Image I think it's a Barn Swallow :-?

Lovely mongoose and a sweet little mouse (when I don't see the tail O** ).

It is difficult enough to catch a swallow not to talk about IDing it O/ lol

Temminck's Courser must be another rarity in KTP -O-
