lions out and about making some noise EP at 12:18  SA time

The camera at Nkorho has a fault with its IR lens which prevents it from picking up the infra red light thus we currently have a black screen. We have a spare unit on site and it will be replaced in the morning. Sorry for the inconvenience.

lion again EP 6:42

Hi all, I am back. Had to leave for a while. Babs is very upset tonight  at EP

Hi Lana....haven't been watching a lot, but did hear them when I've been on.

Is that a bokkie at ep?

Hi all....now I might get a good night's sleep since the NK camera is out. lol No use waiting up tonight for dawn maybe. Or then again, maybe there'll be wonderful sightings at EP.

here is somthing for you to think about

interesting

Hi Chardon...yep, maybe it's a blessing in disguise, with NK out. lol.

But who knows what will turn up at EP. lol.  The babs are enticing us now and then with their noises. 

Hi Marsha. Of course, on the other hand, they'll probably fix it right after dawn, so I'd better not miss seeing if they do. LOL  I just peeked on here for a minute. See you later!

See you Chardon....I expect daylight viewing should be ok as its the IR lens that's the problem.

lions sounds off in the distance...sounds like they have moved farther away. Well good night all have to get my stuff around for work and go relax for a bit. 4:30 am comes very fast!

What, you mean there's more than one 4:30?  I've never seen that one before. 

Whoa.. that got my attention.. baboons in close yelled.  I had earphones on loud.  Did I hear a distant lion? @EP

IF WE GO BELOW   6  MEMBERS  THEN  I THINK THATS A RECORD

Hi all, figured with the NK cam down till daylight there was no hurry on getting here this morning ;)  Lets hope once the light gets good we have a good parade of critters again this morning.

Hi Tman,  I figured all teh critters would wait.  When it got light enough they would all come in an orderly manner.  Prance by and say howdy.

sounds like the baboons have a baby with a tummy ache on their hands lol.  Hope we get some good sightings of the baboons this morning at EP.... and a really good parade of critters at NK once its light enough to see them well.

I don't know if the birds woke up the critters but sure did get the cammers with headsets on to take them off and to turn down speakers lol.  Baboons doing a job as the alarm clocks to wake up the critters at EP area too.

Was that the baboons that just ran off up the road at the left of EP waterhole?  Hope they come back to sun and groom themselves soon anyway.

Landies at EP wonder if they see something we don't there lol.  that is second landie to go there.. nevermind there is a rhino they were looking at

I have lost both cams...anyone else?

Hello everybody. I was happy seeing the landies and rhino and then I lost both cams. Tsk!!

I wonder if they had to shut the network down to change the cam at NK?

lost both cams here too.
morning all.. on the lurking end here for right now.

Yes I lost both cams too.  don't know what happened.  Hope they get them back up soon.  Was a rhino sighting going on at the time at EP too
