In the morning, still sleepy, we enter the jungle, where a sounder of Indian Boars (a long-maned subspecies Sus scrofa cristatus ) is watching us, standing among the first trees, right next to the road. Birds included common species such as Black Drongos , Jungle Babblers and a Hoopoe. One White-eyed Buzzard has turned its back to us.

There’s a Sloth Bear in tall, dry grass, barely 50 metres from us, but all we can see is a dark, shape-shifting shadow that eventually becomes all but invisible. On her own, two months ago, she took down a big, old and experienced Indian Boar , who already had some old tiger claw scars. The Telia Lake. The other two are motionless.

It’s the boar hunting season. The soil is disturbed by foraging boars (and there is not a single shot from those hunters). The WBW remained elusive like a bear (for me at least – a month ago, Georgos met a mother with two cubs, took a few photos, then dropped down and played dead). Enough of the mountains.
