One of our users sent this in for us to ID. Of course they think it's some sort of ghost, but we're sure there is a logical explanation. We can confirm that it was recorded on October 10th from the Elephant Plains cam. Though, we did not see it, and no one else reported seeing anything like it. Any theories as to what it could be?

Creepy! I didn't put this on full screen because it toatally creeped me out, however i don't think it's ghost  because why would a ghost haunt the africam cams? Lol.

I think it's a leaf caught in a spider web.

There is definitely a large bill and 2 eyes so the reflection of a nosey stork or crane seems to be the best explanation. The sun glare created the reflection... probably it was investigating the camera from a distance and the glare created a mirror-like effect between the lens of the camera and the protective glass over it. At least that's my guess! Cool
