User's notes
I stumbled across this one - after searching for it many times in this area, and not having been able to document. It looks as if these are also in the far corner in Ms Reynold's paddock. Over the fence is an area with lots of Themeda - worth looking on one of the next "excursions", even though the farmer does not like to have "strangers" on his patch.
Roger: what sex (my guess it is a male)?
