Generally around that date, they were patrolling the Bishenpur Track.
Strangely though, this photograph looks like it's a studio portrait - the lighting is very good and the pose is not what one would expect to be taken out in the jungle. Certainly the photographer knew what he was doing...
Great photos Stephen you must be really chuffed.
