We rise before the sun

Sophia decided she wanted to see the sunrise (6:23am!), so we got up nice and early:-/ and walked down to the beach with Bella. It was definitely worth the early start - the sunrise over the Atlantic was beautiful.

We drove out to Cook's Lake again after breakfast, and set our small mammal traps (the animals are caught alive and released). We checked and reset them in the afternoon, and in between times got involved in other tasks such as clearing new pathways (to make surveying more easy), doing habitat surveys and looking for mammal signs (especially droppings!).
