The Boma chit- chat forum Sunday 26 July 2009

Good Sunday morning all, and welcome at the  BOMA chat.

See you all  in the Africam morning. Have to zzzzzz now

Thanks for making the new day threads Hanneke.  I hope they bring us lots of good sights and sounds today.  Have a good night and happy camming all.

Thanks Hanneke. Rest well!!!

thank you for the new day

im still watching out of africa

and have the cams up too

t.v.is in front of me 5 ft and computer to my right

im inside because its too hot out 34 or 93 F

Right before I went to bed it looked like Jacques was replacing the cam cover at NK.  I made a comment then that I had hoped the smears were on the outside and he would be cleaning them off when done but it looks like the smears are still there.  Will be able to tell better in the morning.

Thanks Tman. Thought I might have dreamed it. Very quiet at the moment...

Hi Donna.  Yes it has been tonight.  An occational baboon bellow that gets my attention at times but nothing shows up lol.  I have been multitasking but also lurking some off and on but need to go away from the pc and get some other things done now.  Hope some good sights and sounds for all.  bbl

Hi everyone!

Hi Howwa!!

Howdy Howwa!

Hello everyone.  All appears quiet and a little out of focus at NK.

Hi Mavis. It is out of focus tonight. It was a good day for sightings but stopped when the SA sun went down.

Hi Morris - I just got here, so I missed the big bird.  Do we have any guesses as to what it was?

Hi Donna and Howwa.

Guess I should have had the cam on earlier when it wa still daylight.

Wow - thats some pretty fancy flying!

Your link didn't work, but I just looked on the main page to find it. 

A clip of the big bird is Here

Hi Sassabuck, Donna and Dakota, I got involved with email...

LOL - well, I guess there are worse things that you can get involved with Howwa!  

Right! Dakota

Wish I had been paying more attention to the bright spot that was left of the marula tree!  It was probably the bright star Vega...

But it is catholic in its diet and smaller fare, from termites to rodents and game birds forms the bulk of its diet.  Hedgehogs, peeled out of their skins are a particular favourite.

thanks morris it was a big bird
