Office Bushbabies Back

The Leopard's View bushbabies provide us with our own wildlife soap opera.  For a long time we had two groups of bushbabies in residence, one in the roof of the viewing tower and one in the roof of the office veranda.  Then the tower group disappeared and we did not see them for ages:  however, we were pleased when they reappeared a few months ago.  Next the office group vanished and we neither saw nor heard them for at least the last 10 weeks, that is until a couple of days ago.  Initially we heard noises from their den and then on Wednesday 24th August saw one and heard at least one more we could not see.  The next day we saw them again and as I write, they can be heard getting ready to leave at dusk.  This new office group (or the same ones back again?) are relatively accepting of our presence and when they emerge in the evening they always sit in the adjacent acacia giving anyone watching an excellent view.  After a few minutes they head off into the bush in one direction or another.
