You're welcome. It can be slow at times, but if you hit the right time it can be real cool. I watched lions take down a Gnu a few nights ago. The sounds are incredible also, hearing lions crunching bones while they fed opened up a whole new can of primal.

I do not know where the camera is located in Africa, just came across the link and figured everyone here would appreciate it.

Thanks for the link Dave! That is pretty cool.

OK guys, I searched that link and found the location. I copied and pasted the description below.

 
Nkorho Pan is a natural water hole in the prestigious Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve, in South Africa. Nkorho pan is named after Nkorho bush Lodge which gets it name from the Shangaan derivative for the call of the yellow-billed hornbill, a common and unusual looking bird from this area.

Anyone intereste in the Google Earth Koordinates for the camera site?!? I thought this would make it even more interesting, not?!
So I used the info provided by BTH to check the general location. From "day long" observations at different camera perspectives I made a map (sketch) to compare with the arial view and was finally able to pinpoint it down.

Here you go: E 31.598190°, S -24.731651°

BTW: After all those rain some days ago one wouldn't expect to see much game at the waterhole. But this morning and right now there is very much traffic:
Wildebeest, Impala, several Warthogs wallowing and munching gras and a troop of Vervet Monkeys came in.
Made it somewhat easier to fax my final taxidermy payment down to Derek Robinson some minutes ago  :)

Getting the message:
"The Video you are watching is pirated"
with a Matrix-Effect-Face and the advise to go to a specific website - which I wont do - of course!

One should get hold of this pirate bastard and hang him/her by the reproductive organs ...!
