After spending a couple hours traipsing around some dense mangroves trying to get a look at this bloody skulker, the next day, this one popped up as I was walking down the street of the main town (admittedly it's a very small, very green town, but still), where it moved around for several minutes, at one point even perching on a telephone wire!

  In nature, you should never try hard or plan, it is severely punished :) Posted 7 years ago

    Haha my strategy is to try hard, but then allow an extra day to wander innocently and aimlessly through the area, and sure enough rare things often pop up then :) Posted 7 years ago
