Felipe in Hospital

Felipe has been admitted to hospital this morning after spending the night with a very high fever which refused to subside with medication. Please pray for Felipe, who is now on a drip with antibiotics, and watch this space.

I had a good relaxing long walk at Green Pastures this morning and photographed a snake deep down in one of our wide-mouthed wells as well as 3 largish frogs together in one of our now 17 watering holes for wildlife. I also picked up the memory card from the infrared camera and to my delight saw we had managed to film two South American Raccoons drinking at 2.38am at one of the watering holes and standing up to keep an eye out for potential predators. It is the first time I have caught them on film standing like this. Simply wonderful! You can see the 30 second video by clicking on the link below. Remember that the animals were not aware that they were being filmed as no flash is used. They are in this way not disturbed at all in their habitat.
