Day 30

I’ve been meaning to get up in time for the dawn chorus for a while but as my planned walk for tomorrow has been hijacked by the guides, I decided to go out this morning while it was still peaceful. I got out of the house by 6:30 while it was still half-light and the festivities were in full swing.

I took a couple of videos mainly for the audio to get a sense of the sounds but of course it didn’t really work particularly well. It might have been better if I’d stopped for a couple of minutes so that I wasn’t breathing so heavily.

It was a lovely walk surrounded by song although the dawn chorus proper died down around 7 unfortunately. Still it was a very peaceful experience to be up on the mountain so early while everyone else was still in bed. It was getting a bit quieter in the forest but not so much that it wasn’t still impressive. It might have been even more peaceful without two mad dogs

This is one of the dogs in the weird half natural half flash light inside the forest at 7 AM. She had a nice time of it anyway;.
