Place

WC, ZA (Google, OSM)

Description

Seems to be some type of gerbal. Coloration a little off to my Mammal book so not sure of ID. Very short tail. Had a massive amount of bird seed shoveled in his mouth prior to photo. Very white belly and grey fur. Thought it could maybe be a cape gerbal

Place

Cola Beach, Sedgefield, 6572, South Africa (Google, OSM)

Description

Frames taken right from the corner of a trail camera video, hence the quality. Bird appears round with a stubby tail, perhaps a Flufftail. Hopping through branches, shown in 5th media item. Will consider deleting the observation if the photos prove inadequate. If there's a chance of a lesser observed bird I will attempt more trail camera captures in the area.
