That evening we saw another leopard. After it got down from the tree it walked through a gully and rousted a bird that was hiding in the grass. The leopard made an unsuccessful lunge for the bird but then found its nest. We could see it eating something from the nest (either eggs or chicks) and licking its lips.
That night goat rustlers shot AK47s in the nearby village to scare off the villagers and take their goats. Three girls from the village ran over a mile in the dark and crossed the crocodile-infest river to come to the lights of our cook tent for safety. An old man with a rifle pursued and shot at the rustlers for over an hour but they got away. Our guide drove off to get more ammunition and guards for our campsite. A lot of excitement but I slept through it all.
