Field Notes

Description:

This one likes a fresh salad of flowers. Gorging on flowers for more than a 1/2 hour this morning, even if it meant falling through the bushes a few times!

Yes, indeed, they are a lot of fun to watch Mark.

Yes, the last one looks a little sad but that shot was taken after he fell and got up again. Probably tired by the falls. But the rest of the pictures show how happily he romped about and ate. The last picture was actually the first I took after watching him for a few minutes. So, I guess you are right in calling me a director Chief RedEarth since I reset the sequence of the pictures.

Thanks everyone. It was great fun watching his antics. No problems with the misspelling Ceherzog.
