Yesterday we set up two camera traps around the game farm. These motion-activated cameras are equipped with a flash to capture wildlife at night as well as during the day. Our first camera was set up at a place known as the vulture restaurant, a cleared area on the farm where dead cattle are taken to provide food for dwindling vulture populations. Stay tuned for more results from these camera traps!
The vulture restaurant is host to white-back vultures, lappet-faced vultures, and marabou stork.
Forty minutes later, more vultures have gathered for dinner. A lappet-faced posed for us front and center.
After the sun went down, a group of jackals came in for a meal.
An eland antelope trots in front of the camera.
By 7:00 am, the jackals are still hanging around. Also, take note of the temperature reading in the bottom left (!).
Just after sunrise, the vultures have begun to show up for breakfast.
