Loads of bird song at the Pond this morning but just two Impala having an early morning drink.

Thanks Littlewid.

It was lovely first thing this morning Lai Pai. Just had a look and there is loads of splashing going on and Bonnie looking for that rogue Clyde.

littlewid-x-

Oh yea of little faith LW. Clyde's not a rogue, all the splashing you can hear is Clyde giving the Kids their night time bath
WS

Is that what you call it WS, sounded more like him trying to get his beak round his pint and making a lot of noise about it

littlewid-x-

Well it could be that as well, he's ambiduckstrous, so he could do both at the same time
WS

I've no reply to that WS, except....................

littlewid-x-

WS - where do you get them from?

Lai Pai

From the back of the Boddies labels I reckon Lai Pai

As it was quiet elsewhere I spent some time at Petes Pond this morning, it was around 8-30am there. They are 2 Hrs ahead of UK time in Botswana. At first there were no animals around, and the Cam just focused on this Bird, not sure what it is



Then a small herd of Wildebeast came to the Pond for a drink




They had quite a few young with them




They were followed by a small group of Antelope who also had young




Then there was a family of Warthogs, having a wallow, with a small baby. The Baby was really funny, his Mum had to push it away from the mud to make it leave, and it was running along side her like a puppy






It was lovely sitting here in the UK, watching it all unfold on full screen, while having breakfast. A great way to start the Day

Thanks WS - it looked lovely at Pete's pond when you were checking the cam.

All those wildies, warthogs and impala - I think the bird is a Woodland Kingfisher, very beautiful.

Lai

Wonderful way to start the day WS! Though it started slow, it picked up. The bird is stunning with beautiful colours.

SM

It was really great, and you were spot on Lai it is a Woodland Kingfisher. I checked it on line
WS

Lai

Lai
