Friday 29 Dec cam discussion

What is that noise just now?

Sounded like a grunt or humming type noise. Very odd. Never heard that before.

every so often I hear the square tailed night jar, which sounds like a machine gun, but iI havent heard much more..other than the geese and the crickets

There was something earlier (frog?) that sounded like a rattle snake.

If its the noise right now I think thats the night jar sorta rattles

Just after the 2 hyenas went through I through I thought I heard a lion "huff" - I wasn't sure though - I'm multi tasking in the kitchen :roll:

That makes sense.. I bet it was a frog. Thanks for the replies!!

I had heard one earlier this evening too. Awful bout the wildie baby! :cry: But he/she is holding their own!

I dont hear the sound now. It definately was different and caught my attention.

Yes it is

Then it could have been the grey tree frog but I dont think I heard it but I could have been away

That's the one, but it was REALLY close to the cam.

If you notice a bird flying into the cam its the nightjar they sit in the tree and sound like a machine gun. or rattle snake..

Egyp and Tian sure look peaceful (and quiet) just floating in the water. A big change from when those buffalo came through . Has anyone heard the lions in the last day? Guess they are off elsewhere sleeping off their meal.

Hello LL, I thought I heard him huffing earlier but I wasn't really here :roll: so it may not have been.,

Wow, they do some awfully close fly-bys'

Hey Ingwe, hope you are doing well .

Thanks, hope they come back and visit after digesting. I was just checking the leopard cam. There are more neat animals that cross through there. I sure wish that cam was live-streaming like this one.

LOL Husk, have you heard that "clang" noise on occasion? Sounds like someone playing "kick the can".

The very first day I started watching this I saw one fly right into the camera. That was loud!

I like the leopard cam too - lots of interesting things go through that we won't see here.

There was a pic of a Bokkie, looked like a small antelope or something. Perchance are you familiar with that one?

I think the person spelled it wrong or was using a nickname for the animal. The closest thing I can find is a "bokki" which is an old Norse word for a "he goat". The animal was smaller, but still looked antelope type. oh well.

Okay! A bokkie is a term used for any antelope that you aren't really sure what it is Have a look on google for a Klipspringer and see if that is what you saw. I have seen lots of those on the leopard cam, there are also some pics of klipspringers in the camera pics thread.

Ok, I thought the light colored thing in the water was a bird of some sort but it hasn't moved at all. What is it?

Thank you, yes that's it!!! And as I was looking, I found a zillion types of antelopes from very small to huge. It's a cute little thing. Thanks, I've learned something else new

It's the geese, I think they have fallen asleep! At least there was 2 earlier. I reckon they are safe in the middle of the pond.

Thanks, I was wondering because they are so still. Makes sense to fall asleep in the water you'd defiantely hear something coming.

hi, just logged back in about an hour ago and wondering what's in the water. It looks like just one animal, but it hasnt moved at all, so i figured its probably just the 2 geese huddled together?

oops, nevermind..thanks Ingwe!... like the new Avatar by the way.

Hello to everyone again, maybe now I can concentrate on the cam. This job really interferes with my viewing.
