Thanks SM, definiately one to keep an eye on. The cams are not running at the moment, it looks as if they are waiting for the calf to be born and then the cam will be streaming, so looks like a daily check to see whats happening.

Thanks SM. Just had a look and it says

New mother Autumn has requested some privacy while she waits for the arrival of her new calf. But don't worry this adorable baby will be unveiled to the world very soon!

I have just clicked the link again in a new window and am getting the same.

The thing is I having been watching since last night and have left the link open so I am still seeing autumn live in the barn at the moment. Maybe too many are trying to watch at the moment, but will keep the link open and keep you uptodate with progress.

SM

I reckon they are having selected times to view as the cam is now streaming. The cam angle is rather huge, to huge to post really but Autumn is now outside and you can just see her, there is another Girrafe in the next enclosure you can see its tail swishing. Here is Autumn, well a little glimpse of her and I am going to keep the stream open incase it goes off again.

Just caught a bit more of her this time.

Looks like a great cam SM thanks, just checked, and Honey is still outside. I will try to get a short Video if I see her, and hopefully between us we will see the little one born
WS

Just managed a quick video of Honey. She's in, and out of her stall, then going round, and round when she's inside. I think she might be close.
I will widen the screen on the next one, as its a new can, its just getting used to the best size



Thats better I think
WS

I'm getting confused, I thought she was called Autumn Just caught a couple of pics of her just now, she is feeding.

Just noticed you posted a couple of videos WS, will go and watch them.

I reckon she is going to give birth tonight, her belly is really moving and she is chewing away and she is now nowhere near the hay........Hope someone cn watch this all night......wished I could, I will be amazed if she doesn't give birth tonight.
littlewid-x-

I need to go to bed guy's but as I said I will be amazed if we dont hve a calf in the morning. Autumn is chewing/maserating like mad and her belly is so wriggling, wished I could stop up and keep an eye but I will check her in the morning to see whats happened, I may be wrong but we will see.
littlewid-x-

Oooops dont know where I go Honey from must have been the Bees eating the Minstrals.
Just checked and Autumn has gone private, not sure if thats because the baby is coming or not


WS

My link is still open from yesterday WS and I was surprised this morning that there was no calf, however, I have just caught her eating

and then she did a funny little position and to me this looks as though its a foot that is appearing and then she went out of the picture, heres what I think is a foot appearing it was kind of grey and moving and was deffo not a P**H
Autumn is still out of site but the Giraffe next door is busy eating Autumn's hay
WS or Lai or SM please keep an eye this morning......wished I didn't have to go to work

Just checked and on mine its back on Privacy I googled it, after using the link on here for a seperate feed, but its still showing private.
We are out this morning, but will try to have a look later
WS

I am confused, will check and see what is happening now.

Had a look and I still get the privacy message

Lai

I'm also getting the same. I went to earth cams main site, and clicked on thier web can network selected South Caroliner, and there are two cams for the Giraffes one a paddock cam, and the other is Autumns cam, but both have the same pic, and privacy message
WS

My streaming is still running and although we dont have the wide view of Autumn now there is a head shot of her, she is in the corner near her hay, I presume she hasnt had the calf so heavens knows what was going on last night or early this morning.

Meant to say loved your little videos of Autumn last night WS.

Got it now the cam is streaming, iI wonder if its to do with the time ? There is also another cam of the Giraffe Paddock, although there are no Giraffes on view, and Autumn is'nt on view in her quaters

WS

Good point WS - it's only 12.47pm there. I've got a view of the paddock just now,

Lai

Another little Video of Autumn having her lunch. No sign of anything happening yet.


WS

This cam has me hooked. I have not lost the stream and it has been on all the time with me as I only close the lid of the laptop and do not shut down to have to reconnect to the stream.

Anyway STILL nothing yet!!!!

Come on Autumn we are all rooting for you.

SM

PS Great Pics and Vids everyone!!

Checked, and still nothing happening, but I got this video, and it shows a Giraffe next to Autumn. I have to say that space looks very small for the Giraffe, and by the look of it Autumn has a double stall.


WS

I have kept my stream open too SM and am well and truely hooked too SM, it's all very exciting isn't it. Nothing happened overnight and at the moment Autumn is standing in the middle of her stall and the giraffe next to her is sitting down. I wonder how long she has to go? Thanks for the videos WS.
littlewid-x-

Checked on Autumn just now and she has just walked outside her stall and the Giraffe next to her is also out in the paddock as well. Looks like Autumn is keeping us all waiting!!
