The Boma chit - chat forum Saturday 8 August 2009

Thanks for making the new day threads Hanneke.  Looks like the new day starting off a bit foggy at NK.  Hope the new day has lots of great sights and sounds for us.  Have a good night Hanneke and good camming all.

T.man Yes  looks foggy.

Happy  camming and chatting all

I am going to zzzzzzzzzzzz now

I was thinking it was the angle of the moon reflecting on the lens cover, but now I can't tell if it's that or fog. The temp box says 69F/21C, so it's not cold enough, or moist enough, for fog - is it?

Thanks Hanneke. Rest well!! T-man, a clip of the mongoose at EP is Here

Fog forms when the difference between temperature and dew point is generally less than 2.5 °C or 4 °F.^[1]

What is the dewpoint temperature?

The dewpoint temperature is the temperature at which the air can now longer hold all of its water vapor, and some of the water vapor must condense into liquid water. At 100% relative humidity, the dewpoint temperature and real temperature are the same, and clouds or fog can begin to form. While relative humidity is a relative measure of how humid it is, the dewpoint temperature is an absolute measure of how much water vapor is in the air (how humid it is). In very warm, humid conditions, the dewpoint temperature can reach 75 to 77 degrees F, but rarely exceeds 80 degrees.

Thanks for the new day Hanneke.  Hello everyone - I'm just checking in and won't stay long at this time.

is that a reedbuck giving alert calls along with a bird singing at EP?

hi Mavis.  Thanks Morris for the videos as always

I need to get going and get some things done today so before things get exciting again I am going to make my break.  I'll be back later for the morning parade if not sooner.  Good camming all.

too late.. baboons starting up at EP  now I have to stay a bit longer to see what is coming to looks for some water since can't count on twitter to alert me now.

Thanks for the name of the bird.. I kept thinking nightingale but knew that was wrong.  The last time I heard the sound of what I thought was reedbuck alarm it was much fainter so must have been leaving the area then.

Thanks Hanneke for the new day threads and the great pictures!  Sweet dreams, see you later in the morning...

Good Africam morning everyone!

all is quiet again so I am gone for a bit.  good camming all.

T-man, I listened to the Reedbuck alarm on Sounds of Nkhoro, and the EP sound didn't seem the same to me.

Hi & bye TMan & hi to Morris, Barry and Howwa.

I've only got a foggy NK up at the moment and nothing seems to be happening there.

Top o' the mornin' to ya, Howwa!

Fine! Don't say hi to me, see if I care! Are my feelings hurt? Noooo! I'll be fine . . . really . . .

Hi & bye Sue.  Bye to everyone else, as I really can't sit here right now - although I just might keep the cam up.
