17.5 -26 degrees C, time of walk:20-21 degrees, just over 75% humidity and rising, wind W/NW 5-9 kt, plenty small cumulus lately though pretty clear today.
Gazelles: 2 well grown gazelles right by the pines NE corner by north gazelle field, one was adult buck, could just make out his horns, just after sunset and light fading, could have been more gazelle over there but could hardly make out. one was sproinging a little earlier, the male.. stotting behaviour?
House sparrows, active in the gardens, white spectacled bulbul, beautifully vocal in the Bauhinia accompanied by a singing sunbird early afternoon, sang at some length.

Masked shrike glimpsed in pines just east of valley road, before central trail turn-off.. the giveaway stoop and rise.
