We from the Bhejane Nature Training team all followed the Emotional Intelligence Workshop that I wrote about on the 29th of November. It was actually very interesting as we learned effective means for dealing with conflict, being assertive, having balanced professional and personal relationships, and, very important: how to deal with difficult students!
That same evening we organised a spontaneous frogging excursion at the Ehlatini Bush Camp. This place is phenomenal for frogging as on its 80 hectares, 32 species of frogs have been recorded. Given that the whole iSimangaliso Wetland Park contains a total of 52 species of frogs within its 332.000 hectares, this is quite something! This particular night, led by FGASA Level 3 Expert Nature Guide Ryan Tippet, we found about 15 species, a very good score. We'll do another frogging night soon, before the season ends, and we'll announce it in advance on this site. So watch this space! Below some pics from the evening (click on the image for an enlargement):
