~ Midday in Meru brings thoughts of shade, for the intense solar radiation is at a maximum, affecting plants, birds and mammals. We were driving back towards the gate, observing how wildlife coped with the midday sunshine. Egrets, Baboons and Reticulated Giraffes were relatively still, or slowed-down, the heat diminishing activity. Trees or larger bushes offering shade are a blessing for wildlife, which may be seen huddling in the cooler shadows until the solar disk passes farther to the west.
