Day 5: When we went down to the woods today....

Lots of festive 'bambi', preening peacocks and cavalcades of screeching Indian families, but no tigers - yet. Vikram our naturalist has a sleepless night ahead of him. Hugo claims he saw a particularly nimble leopard - at 5:45am by the light of the moon. Tomorrow morning he'll claim he's seen Father Christmas. [HRB: one of the local camps is called... Tiger Woods]
