Spent the afternoon and night at Shirvan National Park today. Highlight was a top of the wish list mammal- a Marbled Polecat watched having an altercation with a Red Fox. We also had at least 30 Jerboas (presumed Williams' Jerboa). Other highlights in photos below. Will add some more detail to these posts later as little time to blog at moment.
