It was 7.30 am when I came in ....After the rain (thanks to Aline and Ingwe I know it was raining earlier) all are quiet at Nkorho Pan...

Two geese was in the pond...but soon somethng happened and they left shouting......at 8.00 am I saw an emerland-spotted wood dove...but not a good close up...I can hear a turrrrrr turrrrr.....and I am wondering if it's the sound of a some kind of dove (It reminds me of our's Streptopelia turtur)

Also I think I heard something like a woodpecker's sound..who knows ???

Do lions ever make an appearance at this particular watering hole? Wouldn't it be lovely to see that!

I have downloaded MWSnap and can manage to capture images on the cam ...... but they are appearing black when I try to upload them to tinypic. Cere I did follow your advice and tick the "use overlays" box on the Windows Media Player. I am probably doing something else wrong :oops: Help anyone?? Thanks you!!

Hi anyd bye Bomites, busy busy today, I see it's mighty quiet in here! Have a great day, everyone!!!

KNP - About 2000 lions roam the Kruger National Park. What effect is feline AIDS and Tuberculosis having on these lions? Melissa Wray reports.

Tests on lions in the Kruger National Park (KNP) have shown that both antibodies to the virus that causes feline Aids (Feline immunodeficiency virus or FIV) and the bacterium (Mycobacterium bovis) that causes bovine tuberculosis are present in the lion population.
