Web Cams of Africa

  Thanks for those clips WS. It's lovely to see Karula again and those cubs are so big and healthy looking (in as much as you can tell by night) what a star she is.

Lai

I think Kurula visits mainly at night because there are quite a few Lions around Djuma, and they have been quite active recently. So it makes sense for them to slip to the pond under the cover of darkness

WS

Very sensible indeed WS, those lions would not think twice about having a go at one of those cubs. They are fairly big but they still need the protection of their mum and I would hate for Karula to have to defend them off and then suffer herself, so she is a smart mum, as we knew, just love her

There is a lot of Lion activity around Tau at the moment. Lioness's moving through with Cubs last night, there was a difference between the ages of the Cubs, the light's not as good as PP unfortunately.



They were closely followed by this Male, not sure if its the Pride Male or not



WS

Elephant extravaganza at Tau since last night. First Elephant Grumbles last night.



Then nearly all day today there was herd of more than 40 Elephants were visiting Tau there were some absolutely scenes



WS

I think this is a really unusual sight, at Nkorho Pan last night. I've never seen or heard anyone say they have seen a Cheetah looking so relaxed, and chilled out at night time. I always imagined that at night they were very wary of showing themselves because of Lion, and Hyenas. The Cheetah was there for ages just lying down, then after awhile went for a drink, and went away.



WS

Thats an amazing clip WS and really clear as well. I am surprised that it was just lying out in the open, it was an easy target as there was no cover. Maybe they do that more often than we know about or maybe this is just one very confident Cheetah who knows her surroundings and maybe she could see around her and knew there wasnt a threat about. Interesting though and she was lovely. Thanks WS.

Welcome to our South African garden! With the Allen BirdCam you can witness many different garden birds and even small animals visit the bird feeder streaming 24/7. The Allen BirdCam is situated in a Pretoria (Tshwane), Gauteng, suburban garden, and allows us to share with you all the fun of watching so many feathered friends and even wildlife visit us. Well over 30 bird species have been seen on the camera and many birds are regulars and even easily recognisable as in the case of the Grey Hornbill with a broken beak or the tailless Black-collared Barbet.

No Birds last night, but a Larger Spotted Genet enjoying the bird food. Better than eating the birds.



WS

That was a lovely clip WS and it sounds a really good cam. I have just tried to get the cam up but my connection keeps dropping off and I cant open it, I will have to look at it later but it sounds so interesting. Thanks for posting the link and clip.

  WS just watched the new bird cam, with the genet, a great one to follow and I love the SA flag as well!

Lai

I have'nt seen this old Guy for a while
Silito the big Tusker at Tembe



WS

WOW he really does have some tusks doesnt he WS, they must weigh an awful lot but what a beauty he is and its great to see him again, lets hope he stays safe.

A lioness at Tembe last night who we thought may be pregnant, there was also a young Male there this morning about 2 to 3 years old, but I have'nt got time to upload the video now



Meet the latest courting couple at PP. Spike & Lady GaGa



Would'nt that be great if we got Lion Cubs, and Baby Quills  

WS

WS that Lioness surely has to be pregnant, either that or she had just stuffed herself silly! Lets hope she is expecting some little lion cubs, that would be lovely.

Spike and Lady Gaga are just adorable and little Quills would be some exciting. Do you remember the series that followed some family wildlife and Quills was one of them and we thought the male Quill had been killed but he hadnt, it was a great little series.

Fingers crossed then that we see some little Lion cubs and Baby Quills.

Thanks for those clips WS

littlewid-x-

A few clips behind here but will catch up tomorrow WS. Thanks for keeping us up to date with the cams.

Lai

Yes LW I do remember the Quills, thats why I said baby Quills. It looked as though the Croc had snapped Mr Quill up, and Mrs Quill went off all forlorn, but later Mr Quill turned up, and all was well.

WS

I thought you would remember them WS, it was such a fantastic series and it was rather sad when it looked like Mr Quill had been eaten by a croc, such a relief when he hadn't and yes they were called the Quills weren't they. Lets hope this little family of Quills does ok and hopefully we will get to see some young.

Petes Pond was full of Wildlife last night









Petes Pond is now available to watch on WildEarths new Beta site. It's a much better quality picture. You can also watch Djuma Waterhole, and Tau Game Lodge Cams on the same link

http://beta.wildearth.tv./cam/petes-pond

If there are any problems with the Beta site as it is new, you can still watch these cams on Ustream, and the original WildEarth links on page one of this thread

WS

Thanks WS. I was able to watch these on my laptop at home whilst waiting for BT to come and fix our BB (again  ) lovely to see all 4 clips. Still can't watch them on my PC at work it tends to freeze the whole PC  

Lai

I think your work laptop is telling you I'm for use at work, if you want to dream of Africa do it at home  It was a really lovely night at PP last night animals coming , and going all night. Not only the ones in the clips , but Hyenas, Jackals, and of course the Guck family, on which I will update later. Plusthe sounds of Crickets, and a Nightjar that was calling.

WS

No way WS. I am always thinking of Africa  

Hope to catch up with more of your clips soon.

Lai

I really enjoyed those clips WS and it was especially nice to see Lady Gaga again, I wonder where Spike was? Old Billy No Mates seemed to be having a ball by himself rolling around  Loved the little family of elephants and of course the Wildies caused a big  

I wished I had more time to watch the cams or was a little bit more organised, so I really appreciate your clips
