12:34 pm
go from this tree in distress were out across the whole forests here because of the huge around. the west who will be released at night when they are based active this peak tape will help us find this spot in the dark later on. i can't believe they have trusted me with these what. are the start of the release like here yeah. you can see a much more active when. you get. this one i'm going to release more on this trial now with my own home.
