I really enjoyed those three videos WS. The first video was so full of animals sounds it was wonderful and where did all those wildie boys come from, so many of them Very Happy

Loved the little Jackal, he really did look like a youngster didn't he, very cute.
The eles were having a lovely drink, they looked quite chilled out there.
It's not just seeing the animals at PP but I love all the animal sounds as well, it gives an even better flavour of whats happening around the pond.
Thanks for those WS.

Gald to say neither the Monitor or The Fish Eagle got any of them still 12 at the moment Very Happy

Phew, thats a relief WS, that was a pretty big Monitor......wonder if its Miss Liz Very Happy

the Fish Eagle was stunning but luckily he looked happy just chilling there. So glad to hear that B&C and the 12 Guckletts all survived another day

PP is down at the moment, it went down yesterday. So sadly no new updates on B&C and the Gucklets, but last I heard all were OK

WS

**whitestarling** Wed Aug 21, 2013 6:17 pm

PP is back up. News on the Gucklets, after a bit of a scary night last night when a large group of Hyenas turned up at the Pond, and two of they younger ones were harassing the Gucks is that they are fine, and we still have 12. They really are growing, but they have a long way to go. It's 70 days from hatch to fledge, and then they hang around with the parents for quite a while learning the lessons of life

WS - good to know they are all well and quite amazing that all 12 are still alive.

WS another great capture.

**whitestarling** Wed Aug 28, 2013 11:26 am

I've decided to combine both Pete Pets Pond and Djuma Waterhole into the same thread as they are both on WildEarth TV.
http://www.wildearth.tv/petes-pond-mashatu-botswana-africa-waterhole-wildlive-webcam-live
You can access Djuma Waterhole cam through the livecams list

So from Djuma last night one of the Nkuhma dark maned Males drinking after feeding on a Buff kill
Video 1min 38secs

and from Petes Pond this morning Mother and Baby Warthog getting their drink

WS

**Laikipia** Wed Aug 28, 2013 3:13 pm

Thanks WS. A good idea, didn't we used to have a Wildearth thread and a Africam thread? Easier than having so many different threads to check perhaps Laughing

I will watch the clips at home later.

Lai

**whitestarling** Wed Aug 28, 2013 5:27 pm

Thats a great suggestion Lai. I will look at putting all the Africa Web Cams in this thread. As you say it will save jumping all over the place.

WS

**whitestarling** Thu Aug 29, 2013 10:32 am

A really rare sighting at Djuma last night. A Serval its a not good quality because of the lighting but it was defintely a Serval
Video 48secs

Just leaving in this one
Video 27secs

WS

**Doogs** Thu Aug 29, 2013 1:44 pm

Good idea to combine them WS cheers

Great to see a Serval and how lovely to see it have a drink, pretty cool Cool

**Laikipia** Thu Aug 29, 2013 3:46 pm

WS and

for the clips.

Lai

**whitestarling** Thu Aug 29, 2013 11:49 pm

I will gather all the African Web Cams together next week as I'm working over the weekend as usual. I think it might be better to put them all together under a new thread with a new title. Then lock the old ones.

WS

**Laikipia** Fri Aug 30, 2013 10:49 am

WS - a really good idea and much simpler to follow and add to then. No rush though, work is work !
