User's notes

Was on the road, and I managed to stop a couple of metres before it. It paused, then turned and went into bushes on the roadside. I followed its progress for several minutes before it came into view. It was about three metres from me, sampling the air and leaves, and eventually disappeared from view.

A very useful record from a montane forest site.
