Rainy season walks

One of the advantages of rainy season is the temperature and general climate. In the dry season it's best to get out around sunrise and after an hour or so the temperature climbs. If it's overcast in the rainy season you can go on a walk in the late morning or early afternoon without it being particularly hot and sunny. 

We recently enjoyed a walk in the foothills. The area was rich with critters and life though the larger fauna spreads out across the landscape and is thus more difficult to spot. The lack of large fauna is made up for with the flora and insects, in particular the grasses and beetles. I particular enjoy the tracks and signs this time of year, it's much easier to discern recent presence of particular wildlife than in the dry season and prints are usually very clear in wet substrate.
