Bear Necessities

30th Jan - 1st Feb:
A second (final) camera trapping expedition meant we had to go further north into the reservoir. Staying overnight in a ranger station (floating). Spent the afternoon throwing Thai teenagers off a floating log and going on a boat safari. Managed to see a water monitor do a very "graceful" dive out of a tree into the water and some leaf monkeys.

The final camera trap expedition meant we had to climb a ridge on the north edge of the sanctuary to find the game trail. On the way up we encountered a Sun Bear that was walking the opposite direction, but promptly turned around. Also saw a Great Argus which is a bulked up version of a peacock.
