Thanks for the new day threads Hanneke...hope there's lots of sightings today

Thanks Hanneke for the new day. I'm rarely on at this time to tell you, but I do always like your new day. And I especially like the first pic you have. lol

Hi Hanneke and thank you for making the new day threads.  I hope they bring us lots of great sights and sounds today at the waterholes.  Have a good night Hannek and good camming to all.

Hallo All.

It was   come and go for me now.

Went for eveningwalk

Posted  new days  and now I hear noises   (Ellie ?

Hope   for those  who are here  it will be nice  watching (and  hearing)

the cams. Will be back in my morning  bye bye  zzzzzz

Hi Janice and TMan. Maybe we're all here for a middle of the night parade??  I hope so...a kitty parade would be very nice!

Good night Hanneke...sleep tight

I'm going to have to risk missing lions too..need to get ready for my day...happy camming

Thank you Hanneke for the new day...waiting for...

Edit    lions should roar louder to keep me awake so good nightfor me too.

Hi Chardon...didn't see you sneak in there as I'm about to go..lol.

There were lions roaring fairly close a while ago..haven't heard them since.  But I'm about to go so they may show up any time now...lol

Evening all!!!!!! Just popping in and out. lol.. Still trying to put wedding stuff away. bluck!!! Just wanted to say hey. I thought I heard a puddy cat earlier. lol How are you all?

Hi Katip. And see you later Janice.

ok..I'm going now..watch for kitties

Bye Janice, have a good day.  Hi Chardon, Hi mumsey been long time since I have seen you here.  I also do hope we get a cat visit soon :)   I am just making a quick stop by now but will be back later for the dawn parade.  Was nice to see all those elephants earlier in the night at NK.  Hearing lion roars at NK in the distance

Hi Mumsey. I'm not usually on when you are!  And now I'm going to just lurk while I do other things.  Although it's hard to 'just lurk' when you're hearing lions roaring in the background. LOL

Rest well Hanneke and thanks once again for our new thread

See you later Janice and Hi Chardon..

Hi Rattiecat.  It sounds like a baboon might be sleeping on a mic cable or something.. hearing some rustling of something that sounds metalic near the mic at EP.

white tailed mongoose just walked in front of the cam to the finger, stopped for a quick drink then went off to the right at NK.

mongoose at nk

Hi Tman..  maybe it's a mouse rustling around -- more lions now--

Hi Rattiecat. It's hard to leave when I keep hearing the roaring. I'm sure you're calling them, so maybe they'll come in a little bit.

Hi again...back briefly..have to go out shortly.  They said in chat the lions are roaring, but distant?

Hi Chardon  I need to get afternoon chores done and I know if I leave the kitties will come.  I stay and they will tease for an hour and drift away

ok...that answers my question :D  Hope they're getting thirsty

Maybe the lions are busy with dinner somewhere

I have my sound up fairly high but I couldn't say they are close like right near the waterhole but not the real faint way off in a distance either... just enough so they could get here fairly quickly if they wanted to

LOL Rattiecat. They're probably the most likely to come if we all leave.

They're about the same as I heard them about an hour ago T'man..which is a lot closer than they usually do for us...lol.  But a nice viewing would be good for sure

Not sure if that was closer or not..hope so

There seems to be several lions roaring when they do so maybe they did get a kill?  or just calling their pride to meet them at NK waterhole for a drink to celebrate something

It's hard to tell how close the lions are with the volume lower than it had been.   Even the ellies can slip in quietly at times.

Well Rattiecat..I guess that's a positive..if we're hearing them like this they might be closer than we think...lol.  Though the one the other night that went through was LOUD and these aren't that loud...yet
