9:00 to 11:00: SASS5 and piscine fauna, Amphibia we see in the course of the activity too. Also someone to walk around there and do birding and check for tracks and scats (water mongoose, cape clawless otter, spotted-necked otter), conservation-important plants (eg Aloe simii).
11:00: Drive to site immediately below WRCE fence downstream side. Access either through Uplands or through Coolmore Farm (I will arrange that). GPS coordinates are 25 17.143’S, 31 00.884’E.
11:30 to 13:30: Do same at site as previous site.

15:30: Drive to Swartfontein site above Klipkopje Dam. The GPS coordinates for the site are 25 11.675’S, 30 58.425’E. Site is at a small weir and bridge near Swartfontein Institution.
16:00 to 18:00: Do same at site as previous site.
18:00: Go to frogging site upstream of the SASS5 site (2km).
18:00 to 20:00: Do frogging there. Perhaps we will find the new species. We will need to use an electrofisher there if available. As far as I know the new species is only known in its tadpole stage.
20:00: Finish
