Hi Sabine and thanks for making the new day threads.  You were fast at locking the door in yesterdays chat or I was slow at hitting the submit button lol.

Janice, I had not noticed the smears till the other morning after Jacques had taken the cover off and was what I think was securing the cam better to the tree.  When he replaced the cover I saw the smears and hoped they were on the outside of it to easily clean off.  I would think the zoomies can also see the smears and had hoped they would have tried to wipe them off when they were putting water in the pan.

Greetings Bomites! Barry, loved the whales from yesterday, the Rose from today and "Over and Over" you prove you have personality Kiss. Peaceful night at the waterholes. The resolution is much better tonight and appears the light on the left is working. Life is good!

Hi all. Just before the new day a critter came ambling down from the mound to the finger, It sensed a jackal coming and didn't amble the other way!! Don't know for sure what it was, but my guess is either civet or honey badger, although I can't imagine a badger running like that.lol Click HERE

a jackal had run across the road right in front of us. The jackal was then followed by a honey badger, then another

As the badgers moved along the road so did the jackal,

so thats all i know ( lol)

they can run fast though

(16–19 mph) for ... The honey badger of Africa
