User's notes

Photo taken on Saturday 7 October 2023. Ignore date extracted from metadata (date/time not set on digital camera). Very shy animal, difficult to approach near enough to get a photo. I observed this animal in company of one other similarly coloured (near white) and one slightly larger animal dark brown in colour. The three animals were clearly 'together' in that to evade me they split up and headed deeper into the bush, only to circle around and rejoin.
