Trails trapped on the 8th June

Hi Everyone,
Well we had a bit of a mix up last night — we asked the Orang Asli to close the traps as it looked pretty bad (i.e. it was raining) at 6 pm. Somehow the message wasn’t conveyed, so the traps remained open. It didn’t actually rain much more after that original shower, but still the catch rate was depressingly low :-( . The trap set were KL0136, KL0138, KL0140, KL0142, KL0144, KL0146, KL0118, KL0120, KL0122, KL0124, KL0126, KL0128, and we are on the grid for good now!

Band R Date Time Trap Species Sex Age FA(mm) Wt(g)

MBCRUC1940 R 8-Jun-10 7:00 KL0122 Rhinolophus trifoliatus F A 52.7 16.75

So keep your fingers crossed that we have a better night tonight.
