Elephants and Planes

The campaign is starting to reach it's final stages but there's still more and more wildlife to admire. Some Orang Utans keep returning to the trees right next to the site for lunch and I saw some red leaf monkeys near the rest house recently. There is a herd of pygmy elephants close to the site now, we saw about 10 at night - they are only about 5 ft tall. If they get any closer we won't be able to travel along the road alone.
The aircraft measurement campaign started last week-they've been flying past at 500ft!
