I hear a dragging like sound a minute ago & a minute before that. Not the dragging over the mic that we heard last night.

I still don't think it is a cat of any kind... I think the owl or some kind of bird sounds more like it.

I am getting confused with 2 discussion thread's  :-?  If it is a young Owl it can be a Barn Owl. Did hear them now and then at NK. But the bird/ owl at the waterhole is not "behaving" like a Barn Ow, sitting at the waterside. many other Owls out there though.

Last sounds can be a bird shaking/practisizing its wings in the tree???

Someone let a horsey loose on the plains? LOL  I haven't heard hyena sounds at NK.  Do you mean at EP?

Swift, that is so funny. Sort of like covering your ears  and saying something LOL.

Hearing Josh pronounce it this morning confirmed for me.

Finaly!! Scops Owl calling

I miss all the nightly birdies calling. But hope with some more stabel weather we will hear them again. That "guck"sound is a froggie, I think.

Just heard the 'hiss' again. Y'know, the more I hear it, the more it sounds like it could be a sickly and hoarse baby scop owl. Anyone?

Yes. We discovered, back about the time Campbell had his first chat, that there had been a miscommunication about the spelling of his name. If you listen to them pronounce Nzila (sort of like INchula) the mistake is understandable. And from what I gather lol, not too unusual a happening. Smiling

When I did understand it is the same Leopard. I was pinching my nose and pronuoncing it, to prove it to myself  lol
