@wav3ydave Right? Glad you got to see one too! We got really lucky with how photogenic it was. Such an unbelievable creature.

[wav3ydave@mas.to]

@james We got the whole usual spiel of "oh they're very rare, many people come for years and never see one, etc etc" then literally walked for about 10 mins and the guide was, "oh there's one on that branch"
