Shongweni Mission 31/10/2010

Sorry just posting recent hiking trips, there will be other stuff including a planned road trip down south. So lets begin myself and a couple of mates decided too hike an area further in land. We didn't find all that much in terms of species, but none the less just getting out hiking and experiencing the bush was good enough for me. We were hiking an area, that is well known for its crime, I seriously doubt though we would have any troubles as all you have to say if you come across any people is that your looking for "inyoka" which means snake in Zulu. The locals are terrified of snakes, so good that we found some haha.

Species Found:
Herald Snake Crotaphopeltis hotamboeia
Brown Water Snake Lycodonomorphus rufulus
Guttural Toad Bufo gutturalis
Red Toad Schismaderma carens
Common River Frog Afrana angolensis
Bushveld Rain Frog Breviceps adspersus
Yellow Striped Reed Frog Hyperolius semidiscus

Red-Lipped Herald Snake
Brown Water Snake
Yellow Striped Reed Frog
Bushveld Rain Frog
