There's wildlife at the watering hole!!!
Antelope or Impala's (some sort of hooved animal )

No antelope there now but there is a hummingbird, I think, moving up and down rapidly very close to the cam. I thought at first it was a spider but I can see the rapid movement of its wings.

I got a shock about midnight (Pacific time) when I decided to click on the site before going to bed. There was a very large giraffe gliding along near the trees and the cam was focused tightly on it. After seeing smaller animals and at more of a distance, it did make me jump. Then I saw some low movement in the trees at a distance and wondered if it was a lion. I knew that I wouldn't be able to watch something like that happen live. But it was a group of gazelles (I think - do we have any experts here who can tell us whether we are seeing antelope, impala or gazelles? I don't even know which live in S. Africa.) Anyway, it was a group of very young ?gazelles and they were racing after each other and play fighting. Unfortunatley, I think the cam operator decided it was time for a tea break because it suddenly switched back to the empty water hole and held still.

That's so cool Lizzie! Man I missed the action this morning. *pouts*

Most of the time, the "deer" like animals are Impala's - not gazelle's or antelope.

I turned the camera on a little after 12, dang! The most I've seen is birds and a mongoose so far. I downloaded a cute program to take pictures when I see some animals!

Now when I go to the site I have to watch a commercial first and then the Africam video won't come in, just audio. If I refresh I have to watch another commercial, that stinks.

I just found something out about the cam.

The camera will stream things at different times for different people, because of how long it takes for the picture to get to certain places. So at one time, someone could be seeing a giraffe, while another is just seeing the water hole. It sucks! lol
