So it's back to business on Day 11 as every research groups went out to the field as early as 8am. The small mammal group and tarsier group had to take the boat to cross to the other side of the river bank to check their trails. Dr. Yustian and Andrios of the tarsier group decided to set up more mist nets during the day to improve their chances in catching tarsiers when night falls.
As for the bat group, Dr. Lane and Mayyer decided to move some of their harp traps to better sites to maximize their capture of bats. Zaiedi, whom is a Forestry Department officer and also a member of the bat group, had to leave Sungai Ingei Base Camp that morning to Bukit Sawat as he had to report back to work the next day.
On ther other hand, Dr. Lane and Mayyer also surveyed for water bugs along Sungai Ingei that day. Stephen Hogg, whom is our wildlife photographer, was also busy that morning as he went around the base camp to take pictures and videos of any encountered wildlife.
The two camera trap groups, namely Team Samhan and Team Angus, also ventured into their trails to set more camera traps as guided by their leaders. Team Samhan literally spent the whole day out in the field and hence, packed lunch were prepared for them by our main chef Haji Ramlee. During the expedition, packed lunch were regularly prepared for those research groups
