A great trip report from Steve Davis- he is just back from 2.5 weeks in Ghana where he saw 37 species including some unusual ones like Yellow-winged Bat, Hammer Headed Fruit Bat, Red-flanked Duiker, Lord Derby’s Anomalure and Common Cusimanse. I need to go back!

Hello, I just got back from 2 weeks in Australia and the Western USA. Sorry for the silences and for not uploading the various reports I was sent while I was away.
I was with my kids but still managed to see a few nice things, including 8 new rodents in the States one of which was my 1000th mammal. Will blog on that trip in a few days.
Meanwhile I’ve been sent some trip reports while I was away and the first is from Mark Hows, who spent a week in Spain and saw 21 or more species including Iberian Lynx.

A cold snap earlier in the year killed 5% or more of Florida’s manatees. On the positive side, it also killed non-native pythons and other invasive species.
