Rain stops research

As I write this a rain thunders down onto the tin roof of our office and takes away the oppressive heat of the day. The storm has been building for a few days now and the humidity has been bearing down on us, it is wonderful to welcome the rain.
This morning we struggled out of bed at 0600 as we had had a late night trying to email a large document. Our internet has been playing up and in the end we had to go to the neighbouring camp, Abu, to use theirs as it is much faster.
After a quick bite to eat we headed out and did route one, we saw lots of game at the beginning; pregnant impale, zebra’s with a foal, giraffe everywhere and three old buffalo’s. It was only when we were near the end of the route did we spot an elephant, a young male walking along the road. We were able to get a ½ hour focal and a poop sample, so we were very pleased. I have yet to ID him but he does have fairly distinctive ears and I am sure I recognise him.
As I am stuck in the office, due to the rain, I will get on with the back log of 120 emails I need to work through, before heading out again this evening to see if anyone else is about.
