July 17, 2000.  Mark Nash holds Qetesh firmly immediately after having recaptured her.  The raw chicken Qetesh is holding on to with her talons was used to entice her to come running out of the bushes.  (Photo by Marcel Gahbauer)
July 17, 2000.  The trailer on which Qetesh was standing when found by fitter/welder Marc Essiambre.  Qetesh was almost completely hidden from sight by the foliage, as she stood near the back of the trailer.  It would have been very easy to walk right past without realizing she was there, and Marc is truly a hero for having spotted her.
