Cool spotting, Dan. These are funny little guys. I do recall seeing a couple of duiker species in East Africa. Good to see that you're still here after 9 years. This was my first spotting... https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/22... I usually have a 2-3 year interest span on most sites, so to have reached 7 years on PN just shows how wonderful the site really is.
Great first spotting Dan, congrats one more time and thanks very much for sharing your amazing spotting page
Thanks again ceherzog and thank you Luis.
Well done Dan, great first spotting
Well Dan, I must say you chose a species few people have seen...I haven't looked at each of you spottings but Mr. Blue Eyes is a treat!
Thanks Carol, Cindy and Claire. It was so cool to be able to see these wild animals up close. Claire,I choose this as my first spotting because it was a good photo of an animal I thought might be unfamiliar to some and I wanted to share it. I'm proud to say it is still the only spot of this species on Noah.
wow Dan!, what an exotic first spotting!
Wonderful shot! My family became attached to some Duiker's at our local zoo. How wonderful you were able to see and feed wild ones!
They are wonderful animals.
I added more photos to this spotting.
