Hundreds of different ones all over the joint. Super rich in bark tannin favoured by the tanning industry. Sth Africa has many plantings specifically for the tannins. Any old how check this dried up dead one,spot the camoed squatters.

You are not as silly as you think you are because I am too, when I saw it at first light I thought wtf is that ****ing thing,I saw the bottom eyes and was convinced it was a mammal ha ah.

I picked up a twig and gently eased the wing open for some more ID. I used the twig as I believe it sensed my finger warmth when I first touched it and it rattled it.

Hiya John

Thank you for the lesson on 'War-paint', this with the anti-scent wash post, is helping me towards my application for being a 'Prospect under consideration' for Sambar hunting (if not on any no-fly list that I do not know of again).......
