I see a stork of some sort that just went after something in the water, and what appears to be those two ducks that seem to have taken residence in the area.

It was a really interesting evening at cam....First the vervets were playing around and the impalas are grazing peacefully...Then wildebeests came to drink...Maybe those shots of wildebeests were the best I have seen on the cam until now..and then ...Buffalos...This is second time I saw them on cam....All those between 16.30 -18.00

Don't hear it any longer Fani, but was calling at around 8.10 SA time in the distance. It sounds like the bird is saying "good Lord deliver us" - well thats what the birding books say it sounds like anyway.
