Skunk and Nighthawk

There was a most unwelcome addition to my mammal list last night as, whilst riding my bike along the Club de Golf road, I disturbed a Skunk on the roadside. The little git ran in front of me, tail raised and leaving its trademark stink. I wasn't too happy. It was pungent, let me tell you. So pungent, that, as I rode past the same spot this morning, I could still smell it.

A slightly more pleasant sighting was a Lesser Nighthawk, winter visitor to these parts, hawking for insects over Tequis. town centre.
