A wildebeest had been caught in a wire snare. In her attempts to break free, she snapped the log anchoring it, but the snare remained intact. Nasaru Olosho Conservancy scouts tracked her for two days before the SWT/KWS Southern Mobile Vet Unit located her. Dr Lawi removed the snare.

“But in October what a feast to the eye our woods and groves present! The whole body of the air seems enriched by their calm, slow radiance. They are giving back the light they have been absorbing from the sun all summer.” – from ‘Falling Leaves’ by John Burroughs (1837-1921).

Prehistoric fridge! This approximately 4,000-year-old storage vessel once served as a kind of fridge. It was kept in a pit and sealed with a wooden lid, likely to store perishable food. Unfortunately, there weren't any residues left to tell us exactly what was stored inside. 🧵1/2 📷 me
A large, coarse pottery vessel with a rounded body, a wide opening, and a decorative band of regularly spaced perforations around its upper section. The beige surface is cracked and uneven, and the vessel is displayed against a dark background.

Owl of the Day: Tawny Owl 📷 Ivan Sjögren
Owl perched in tree hollow, description from ebird: ‘A medium-sized owl with deep black eyes, strictly nocturnal and infrequently seen. Gray to brown overall with a big rounded head. Found at a broad range of elevations from sea level to high mountains, in woodland, forest, parkland, rocky areas, and sometimes towns and villages. Tends to roost well hidden in foliage during the day, when may be detected by tracking down the excited sound of small birds mobbing the owl. Comes out at night to hunt in clearings and more open areas. Most often detected by its quavering hoots and "kee-wik!" shrieks, given at night. Includes Maghreb Owl, formerly considered a separate species.’

A wire snare had become looped around his neck – but this week, this adult male eland got a second chance. The SWT/KWS Rift Valley Vet Unit responded to reports from Mundui Estate, carefully immobilising the eland and removing the snare before it could cause serious damage.
