Over 100 toads seen along 200 m of trail through elfin forest, with Marc Hayes
A large white full-bodied civet (maybe Masked Palm Civet or Small-toothed Palm Civet) foraging during the day. It's probably albino so it creates a phenotype that's quite rare in the wild, I'm so glad I captured this moment because not everyone can see an albino civet in the wild because of its type. This image is rarely seen in the wild. The video was shot in Son Duong-Tuyen Quang in the Tam Dao mountain range.
What kind of civet do you think this is?
Sadly, one of the last individual, if not the very last, before extinction. More info at My World of Bird Photography
First iNaturalist record.
With Graham Armstrong, Pete Ellis, Steve Guy, Guy Langan, Paul Harvey, Phil Heath, Ian Lewis.
Seen for more than an hour after dawn, in a small loose group of Eur. Curlews, feeding in a short-grass field on the south side of the main lake. This was "limpy" - the bird that had been shot about 3 weeks earlier, but seemed to make a recovery.
This location is the last known wintering site for this species. The last record from here was in February 1995.
Here is a link to the last video taken at this site, in January 1995:
