Viktor: Morning!
Sam: Hi, how are you?
Viktor: Great, thanks. Hey, did you set up the camera trap yesterday?
Sam: Yes, I did! Mom helped me put it up on the wall above the back door and we pointed it down and towards the grassy bit of garden. Did you?
Viktor: Totally. But something went wrong after I tied it to a tree in the park. Look, I’ve got some amazing video here. Let me forward it a bit … there – look.
Sam: Oh yeah, what is it? Can you zoom in? It’s very small.
Viktor: Can you see it now?
Sam: Ah, it’s a fox. I love the way it’s moving – like something between walking and running. What’s it got in its mouth?
Viktor: I think it’s a rabbit. The fox must be coming back from hunting.
Sam: That’s amazing. Anyway, what went wrong?
Viktor: Watch...
Sam: Woah! Did the camera just fall out of the tree?
Viktor: Yes! It was a windy night, wasn’t it? I must have tied it too loosely.
Sam: Ha-ha, well, you got some great stuff before the camera fell. It didn’t get damaged, did it?
Viktor: No, it didn’t. It’s okay. Did you get anything?
Sam: Yes, actually. We watched it over breakfast. I don’t have it here – I’ll send it to you later, but there were at least a couple of animals in the garden.
Viktor: What did you see?
Sam: Some kind of … well, I think it was a mouse, but it was quite big. My sister thinks it was a rat. Mum didn’t look too happy about that! She told me to get rid of it – whatever it was!
Viktor: Aw, rats are okay. It probably just lives in the garden – and they have to live somewhere.
Sam: I agree – as long as it stays outside and doesn’t come in the house.
Viktor: Anything else?
Sam: Oh, yes – I’m really thrilled about this one – we’re absolutely sure that we saw a hedgehog walking across from the neighbor’s garden to our back fence and then under it to the park behind.
Viktor: Oh, I love hedgehogs!
Sam: Yes, me, too!
