Most game lodges in South Africa outside the Kruger Park are not fenced so that wild animals can wander in and out as they please. This means that there is always a chance of close encounters between man and beast.

fani recently pointed out (on the Camera forum) that only one cam could be viewed (apart from the streaming cam) at a time. This has now been rectified and each cam should now open in a seperate window.

Thanks to Campbell for rectifying this.

**GOOD DAY TO ALL WE HAD 2" OR 4.4CM RAIN LAST NIGHT (YAHOO) WAS SITTING ON THE DECK HAVING A JAVA - A LONE PILEATED WOODPECKER LANDED ON A TREE FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS JUST LONG ENOUGH TO GET ONE PIC- ILL POST IT TOMMORO - TODAY I PUT IN 2 PICS OF A HAIRY WOODPECKER PREENING ITSELF IN A DEA TREE TOP = +14 BROKEN SKY TODAY

Following a request from cerinthe, I have posted a short story of one of my experiences while working in the bush :

Being a guide, I encountered lions whilst on foot on several occasions, however usually I was in their turf and as such carried a rifle as a safety precaution and for the peace of mind of the guests I happened to be walking with and my own.

Following up on my posting in the Nkorho cam forum about bandwidth use and the high cost of this in SA I was wondering if it would be doable to have both a streaming and a 'convential' camera stream (e.g 15 second frame updates.)

This would allow slow speed users to see the cam n the one hand and save bandwidth for us poor sods in SA on the other. We could monitor the low-bandwidth 'conventional' cam and switch to the streaming one at times there is an interesting sighting (or when we long for the sounds of the bush...)

Just one

Hope you have a great day planned and all your wishes come true.
