Monks


We had a visit from one of the local monk tribes today. They were scouting for all the remaining yuzu oranges. Basically sacks of pips now, but still some valuable vitamins to be had. There were clunking noises on the roof so I went out to investigate and a big group came running down the hill to cross over the road and dive down into the valley. I am glad they are still a little fearful of humans as the elder members of the tribe could be rather intimidating if they wanted. Mainly young animals, which means the population will be swelling further in future.
