Watering Hole Chat Site - Sunday 8 February - 2009

Hallo all , a very happy Sunday all and  of course nice  camming.  Going  for  my  cold walk now ( its freezing here )  and then zzzzzzzz

Hi all.  Thank you hanneke for starting the new day threads and thanks to those that posted cam captures on the pics thread.  Glad to see that most of the cams are back up again.  Hope the new day brings us lots of great sightings.  Have a good night hanneke.

   i have to thank  HANNEKE for the new day and pics

    then you can have your  cookies 

Good night hanneke and thank you

See you in the morning Hanneke, I'm sure you will not forget the hot lemon drink  

I haven't gone back to look in yesterdays chat yet, but when I just saw the goose in the water it looked like 3 smaller ducks floating along with it.. did our egyptian geese have ducklings or is there just some other smaller ducks at the waterhole now also?

Thanks for waking me up and pointing me to new day Cowboy LOL

Hello Everyone

 some one asked  HOWWA if the geese got along with the

 comb ducks 

 Egyptian Geese are very pugnacious and aggressive, especially during breeding season. They are intolerant of other birds including individuals of their own kind and are among the most vicious of all waterfowl.

Breeding season (laying dates). All year, but mainly May to December.

Is that Impala at NK ?

 edit .."was"  several walked behind WH ...now one came back ..Impala or Lion ??

edit one more time ...it was Impala

Hi WD.  Cant tell for sure but would be a good guess.  Haven't seen any of the other antelope I think yet this year at NK.  but a definite bokkie anyway

Hi everybody. Just looking in for a little bit. Looks like the nests in the tree at EP have multiplied.

Hi Tman ... I miss all the little Bokkies coming for a drink like they did in the winter. I guess they are getting all the water they need from plants now. 

I wish the Moon would hurry and give us a peek ..I need to get up and get some work done, but I can't until I see the moon LOL

Hi Chardon ..I just realized I did not have EP up ..I had NK twice

Hi TMan and WD. I thought the moon was already up because it looks so light at NK.

It has been up for a while ..i am waiting for it to set so I can see it

Hi Chardon.  I noticed also it is getting light in the sky and guess the moon will be setting in that direction soon.  I am going to get some things done, but will  be back later.  Good camming all.

See you for the dawn parade TMan.

And duh to me WD for thinking you meant the moon was coming up. LOL

LOL ..I have only been waiting since it got dark at NK ..any excuse to keep me from my work

I guess I'd better go see about dinner. See you at dawn. Hope critters (and the moon) come by the wh soon.

Enjoy Dinner, catch you later

Lot of moonlight at Nk

Hello Everyone! Beautiful moon at NK.  Lately, it seems everytime I get ready to chat the forum goes all wonky. Goes very slow and sometimes shuts down. The cams also froze for about 5 minutes. Did that just happen to anyone else?

Hi Howwa

It really is bright !  Can hardly wait to see it set.  It is Beautiful 

Jacques promised me a good view tonight, and it looks like he set it just right .  Maybe if he is up he will Zoom for us

Hi Donna, cams are OK for me now. The Forum runs hot and cold tho.

Thanks WD. At least I'm not alone    I worked in the yard today. Cut roses back and cleaned out some flower pots.It was fantabulous! 74 degrees and light breeze.

Hi Donna , I had trouble about 5 hours ago with Africam...

That sounds wonderful !  I am still hoping that my Staghorn Fern suffered no lasting damage. Poor thing has been thru so much the past several years. Down to nubbies and back several times.  And now I have to find a way to move it again.  I can hardly wait to see 70's again ! 

I can just barely see the Moon dropping into view
