The Watering hole chat site Wednesday 15 April 2009

Good morning on this  Wednesday.

Have a nice day all.

Happy camming and  chatting.

I  go for now. ZZZZZZZZ

thanks for starting the new day threads Hanneke.  Hopefully brings us lots of great sightings and sounds.  Have a good night.

Thanks for the new day Hanneke and the pictures!  The large baboon put on quite a show at Nk ...   Sweet dreams...

not sure what all that is going on at EP cam now... all sorts of sounds that maybe just baboons but can't be sure.

Thanks for the new day Hanneke :)  Lots of interesting sounds tonight..and a reminder of the impala rutting season coming up...lol

Thank you for the new day, Hanneke - sleep well and see you tomorrow.

Yes, the baboons are being quite vocal.

Got to go out for a while...back later

Definite lion roars at Nk

See you later Poppet, the lion roars were far off

it seems like the baboon is communicating with a far off baboon I could hear calling out the same sounds in the distance.

New bird ? call to me at NK

Yes it sounded quite excited too, I wonder what it saw?

figures.. I had NK sound muted so I could try to figure out the sounds at EP lol.  I am starting to think that the chewing noise we are hearing is rain or water running anyway... almost sounds like a babbling brook :)  hearing a hyena I think in the background at times too now at EP.

have EP muted and think I just heard baboon at NK too.  The birds I hear occasionally I couldn't tell you since I'm extreme novice still with the bird calls.  Love all the different sounds tonight but I really need to get some other things done away from the cams.  I'll be back later.  Good camming all.

I'm back again...still some interesting sounds going on.  Sounds a bit like rain drops maybe at EP. And that baboon is trying not to cough

Good for Cody Cat

I'm back for a little while ....is that some kind of eagle I can hear calling at EP?

Hello everyone!

Hi Mavis...I'm wondering what bird (or birds) that is I'm hearing at EP

Edit: I should clarify..I can hear the pretty nightjar with the trill on the end in the background.  But I'm also hearing something that sounds a bit like a fish eagle, I think, and another bird that seems to increase in volume as it calls

Hello everyone.  Hope you all had a good day.

Hi Janice.  I don't have EP on right now, so I can't help you (not that I'd probably be able to anyway - LOL)

Wow, Janice and Mavis, I am wondering the same thing...that bird sound was magnificent...a very repetitive sound, over and over and over...very clear sound, with another answering him way off in the distance.  I heard the one that resembled an eagle as well, but this one was different...very intriguing.  

Hi Karen

Mavis, I'm not up much with bird calls either, except for the nightjar..and the one I thought might be an eagle caught my attention for some reason
