Playing catch up


Visitors at Satara





Not sure if it's a Steinbok or a Duiker but I do know I don't see one of these very often.

Orpen saw visitors too when I got a chance to check
Could this be another Steenbok or a Duiker

1/29/08 PM DRIVE

Woodland Kingfisher

The 3 little ones are getting big


Oxpecker using Hippo as an island


Burchell's starling sunning on rock ...


then a stroll down the road




Marula fruit



Rexon bit it open to show us the inside. Contains lots of good stuff for animals and people. Often used by locals to make a beer



Rex enjoying his. Alex, today's cam op, took one too. I asked about these and found out that they aren't sour like a lemon but more on the order of oranges. You know how they are sometimes sweet and sometimes a bit sour. Google and read up on them, it's kinda interesting.

Unfortunately I didn't catch the name of this pretty bird, but it reminds me of something in the parrot family


This one I did catch, Common Bee Eater


Impala's looking healthy


Can you see me?????



Here I am ! ! !



Boonie's at Gowrie while switching to night cam


Scanning the dark. Looking for eye reflections. Rexon said that each animal has it's own blinking pattern. Of course I asked about some differences and found out that cats and other nocturnal animal's eye muscles are more active at night so they blink faster.


Rex has really good night vision, found a snake curled up in a tree ...


and this tiny little bird.


Scrub Hares - we interrupted them doing what rabbits do best LOL


Watching for blinking

Time to say Good Night.
