The Weekly Recap
Hello and welcome to this week’s recap!
This week started off with Alex Sowers’ trip to the Selkirk Mountains in Washington. Despite missing a couple targets, they still got some great species in such as Black Bear, Striped Skunk and Snowshoe Hare.
Next up is Andreas Jonsson’s week in Slovakia and Vienna, where he saw the classic cemetery European Hamster as well as European Souslik, Alpine Chamois, Whiskered Bats and much more.
Finally was the sixth and last part of Pieter de Groot Boersma’s Australia series, this time including some species from New Zealand too – Dusky Dolphins, Southern Right Whales and New Zealand Fur Seals are some highlights.
Ian Thompson is currently planning 10 days in Vietnam next September in search of Delacour Langur, Southern Yellow-cheeked Gibbon, Red Muntjacs among other species and would love some participants. And if you’re interested in joining a different mammal trip, check out the website’s join a trip page.
The next mammalwatching community meeting will be held on Saturday, 2nd November! These meetings are a great chance to chat with other like-minded people about your mammalwatching disea- er, I mean passion, and repent together. Also, make sure to upload any reports you’ve been sitting on before the end of the year so that they have a chance to be nominated for the NUTTER awards in January.
A mysterious small black cat-like animal has been spotted near the Sea of Cortez, so comment on the post if you have any idea what it might have been.
Comment your best spots for seeing otters around Bangkok on this post – they’d also like recommendations for spots to see other species such as treeshrews and Tentacled Snakes (excuse the heresy of the mention of a reptile). Also leave a comment here if you know of any good guides in Colombia 🙂
If you know how to go about applying for funding for mammal related research, Daan Drukker would like some advice here. And lastly, some field guide to New Guinean mammals recommendations would be very appreciated on this post.
This post from Stuart Chapman recommends Primavestour for Javan primate trips – apparently he saw all his target species during his first day with them!
My dad is currently in Bolivia and is very happy after seeing Goeldi’s Monkey, which he used his daily 5 minutes of wifi to tell me… Priorities 🙄 Follow his instagram @mammal.watching to keep up with the trip!
