African Web Camera

[greendale]

An interesting web camera that can be viewed at www.wavelit.com.

It is at a watering hole at Kruger National Park. Animal and birds which is best viewed at night because of the time difference.

Lots of bird sounds as well. Enjoy

Got it working, and Im looking at a turtle dove or what looks to be a turtle dove.

Amazing all the sounds! I think Id be going in circles trying to look at every thing at once!

The link below is the one I used to access.

Must be very early morning. Last I looked a few hours ago it was dark. Boy, Id sure like to be there in the early morning! Must be unreal.

Anyway, just saw an Egyptian goose having a bath. Ive seen them at Sardis Pond, but never in the 'wild'!

Also noticed that someone must be running the camera and zooming in on things of interest.

Pretty cool! Last night I was on it, and I saw a dove--I think it is a Ring-necked (Cape Turtle) dove, 2 pied crows, 1 hamerkop, and plenty of red-billed oxpeckers. Animal wise, I saw a herd of impala, 5 zebras, and 3 giraffes.

Nice ones! Hey, have you ever gone to Africa before Jeff? Sounds like you know your African birds!

I only seem to know my African birds as they keep zooming in on the Egyptian goose (or what looks like one) for me. I can go see one at Sardis Pond!

I wish! ;)Actually, in between watching the birds/animals on the camera, I was searching the web to figure out the names of these birds. It took me quite a while to figure them out--in fact, I only found one that night and the rest the next morning!

I wish too. Put me out there with a scope, binos, camera (with about a dozen batteries and memory cards) and a decent Field Guide to African Birds and Ill be pretty happy.

It's fun enough researching them on the web...imagine doing it for real!!!
