Wildcam Africa - Pete's Pond

Great photos SM and WS - the eles are great when they all come in - and then suddenly they've all gone again.

Just missed two wildies leaving the waterhole - only caught their back ends! Plenty of very noisy guinea fowl and then this very fine looking heron who was quite vocal.



Lai

That heron is such a brilliant white, nice pic Lai.

SM

That Heron really is whiter than white Lai lovely pic
WS

Thanks SM and WS - sadly my mwsnap on my pc is now playing up so i'll have to try and sort it out later. Laptop okay but this one

Lai

Result - I am back working on my pc with MWsnap



- the heron is still hanging around, must be having a good days fishing.

I missed the warthog as I was still messing with MWsnap but it does look very peaceful there.

Lai

The cam is following the heron in his fishing attempts.





Just realised I am doing no work - too busy watching Pete's pond

Lai

Petes Pond is adictive isn't it Lai. I'm loving the Heron

All peaceful at Pete's pond at the moment but lovely bird song and a few jumping fish but too fast to catch on cam.

Great pictures folks!

Cant hang around today to watch still gutting the house and the week has disappeared fast.

SM

Looks quite busy at the moment, a troop of Monkeys, with some really small babys



Then some Wildys came in

I think this must be Billy


WS

Great photos Littlewid and WS - i've not been able to look in today, I think I spent too much time with Pete's pond yesterday

Lai

Thats what I like about this camera WS, there always seems to be something going on.

SM

The Elles were back, when I logged on. I'm not sure these are twins, although they came in together with the female, and older calf difficult to tell the age of that one. The female left with one of the young ones, and the other left with the older calf in seperate directions.
I also found this clip
Twin elephants are extremely rare all over the world and have a really low survival rate. Considering the extremely long gestation time for elephants (22 months!)



Then there was this weird Ghostly looking Elephant


WS

Love that last photo WS and great to see the two young eles. I have never heard of twins and imagine the survival rate is almost nil. Imagine 22 months pregnancy

Lai

the impala took flight - something spooked them

the heron is back, if he ever moved.



Lai

We have got to give this white heron a name.

How about Harvey?

SM

Harvey it is then.

SM

Harvey the heron - I love it, good choice SM

Lai :woodstock:

Harvey made a quick dive for something - far too quick for mwsnap to catch, but he got it whatever it was

Lai

Oooooops Sorry Guys I put it on upside down Still looks Ghostly though


Love the name Harvey the Heron I cought Oswald the Ostrich this morning

and Mizz Lizz the Water Monitor


WS

Thanks for posting your great pictures Lai and WS. Harvey looks well today and now Oswald in our midst.

That capture of the elephant and its reflection was a bit of luck WS.

SM

Love Harveys name and also Oswald the Ostrich Ooooo that is a ghostly pic of the ele WS Petes Pond is an amazing place isn't it.
