We are now established in a new survey site, 30km2 north from the previous site. Here we work with local school teachers, students and villagers to survey signs of fishing cats. We set up camera traps at locations where tracks were found and three individuals fishing cats have been confirmed so far. One regular that often visits our camera trap locations is Rip-Eared, a male resident who we think is the father of the kitten that we observed tracks in the near by old fish pond. We are hoping that soon we will be able to affix a radio collar on him and follow him to learn more about his movements in this landscape.
