Raining
again at Djuma, who will we get to see in a raincoat today?
Drive
is starting a bit late.
(2016/03/15 05:42) We are Live, We are Live!
Brent
Leo-Smith is our presenter for the morning with "Dangerous" Dave Eastaugh
on camera. He tells us they have heard male lions roaring near our viewing
boundary so the plan is to go see if they come across the border for us to see.
There will only be one presenter and vehicle again today, while the other
vehicle is being used to film promotional material.
(2016/03/15 06:02) Buffalo
(2016/03/15 06:06) Steenbok
Signal
issues are bad today most likely due to the thick cloudy weather.
(2016/03/15 06:18) He is now
where he thinks he heard a guide from cheetah plains tells Brent that the lion
left the area he shows us the tracks @ 06:20 the tracks have been rained on so
it has been a few hours since the track was fresh.
(2016/03/15 06:29) Commelina Benghal flower
(2016/03/15 06:43) A Harvester Termite soldier bites Brent on the knee. He says it's an absolutely massive termite he brings it to the vehicle for us to see.
- (2016/03/15 06:48) We are going to go black screen while Brent gets back west towards Djuma for better signal area. He promises to go Ferrari safari style.
- (2016/03/15 07:01) Brent is back.
(2016/03/15 07:02) Bedraggled and wet pale morph,
Wahlberg's eagle.
(2016/03/15 07:12) We listen to the birds. There is at least seven different birds calling.
(2016/03/15 07:18) Brent finds a bird party however
seems none of them wants to be seen. We see a Chinspot batis we see
this bird from a distance you couldn’t see it in the screenshot though.
(2016/03/15 07:19) Arrow-marked babblers
(2016/03/15 07:31) Helmeted guineafowl
(2016/03/15 07:46)
Termanalia gore? caused by an ant. Interesting information about this, however
I didn't find it on the internet I may have not spelled or heard the name
right.
(2016/03/15 07:51) Brent takes us to the Hyena den but no one
is home or out to play.
(2016/03/15 07:54) Brent shows us on his cell phone a Gorgeous Bushshrike one of his favorite birds but we have not seen one and he
has only heard one once on Djuma.
(2016/03/15 07:55) Great blue turaco is another favorite of
his but they are not found near here they are a rain-forest bird.
(2016/03/15 07:59) Brent tells us of when he stayed in the rain-forest for two weeks while he was consulting in the Gabon rain-forest. He shows
us some pictures of the small campsite and minimal gear he had with him. He had
to scavenge for supplies for survival. Interesting story so I made a video of it here is a link.
(2016/03/15 08:08) Gwarrie bush berries he and Dave eat one
each.
(2016/03/15 08:13) Brown snake eagle in a tree being harassed
by other small birds. Video link.
