    The rendition of 'All by myself' and the CSI like investigation of the 'rain' noise was brilliant. Your videos definitely brighten the grey, wet days here in the UK winter.

    I am a twitcher, my husband and daughter aren't. Loved the description in the hide about how you have to bird watch with people who also love bird watching. Cackled so hard 🤣🤣🤣

    Croaking Cisticola! And the bee is Xylocopa aurorea- the Golden Carpenter...I suggest it is likely named after its colouration and propensity for woodwork.

    • @JamesHendry
      @JamesHendry  4 года назад +1

      Marvellous thank you...I agree re the cisticola and will take your word on the bees...stunners they were

    This footage is the next best thing to "being there". Thanks so much for all the insights into your trip, including highway and town footage, James and Kirsten. You have truly conjured welcome memories of my own camping adventures in East Africa.

  • @rbeard7580
    @rbeard7580 4 года назад +13

    Very enjoyable! My guess on the man-made leopard 🐆 tracks: It’s the Park’s way of reminding visitors that as they’re sitting in a hide with an open back, be aware that anything can easily walk up behind you. (Most hides in Kruger have a gate and a long, narrow fenced entrance walkway to prevent tourist being surprised from the rear.)
    We saw a somewhat similar sign on the Cape Peninsula warning of snakes off the marked path. It consisted of just a skull & crossbones ☠️ above, and a cobra 🐍 below, nothing written. Our guide explained that due to the huge number & variety of foreign tourist, it would be impossible to write a warning everyone would understand. However, the graphics did the trick in a way that was unmistakable! Kudos to the clever SANParks bureau.
    I confess the leopard tracks are a bit more obscure, but as an amateur it would catch my attention and cause me to be wary. James & Kirsty, being well trained & experienced, would obviously not need such a warning.
    As to the 🐛’s raining 💩: that pretty much ended any chance my wife will consent to visit said location. 😢
    The photography & production values were, as always, first rate! 😎 We look forward to the next installment.

    Those bees are stunning! When I was able to garden local bees here in Delaware, USA, would land in my arm and drink from beads on sweat. I’ve only been stung once when I accidentally and to my dismay stepped on one. Love your videos!

  • @sarahwolf5565
    @sarahwolf5565 4 года назад

    I love the humor in which James gives us with his videos!! Haha when he's looking at the hippos in the scum. I kept thinking we can call them 'Scum Bums!' And the bees were so lovely to see thank you James!! Haha!!

    Loved this episode.. I'd forgotten about the tracks in the concrete leading to the hides! Your videos are bringing back many happy memories of my time visiting the iSimangaliso Wetland Park. . As the UK goes in to another lockdown I'm really looking forward to the next episode!! ❤️🇬🇧🐾🦋

    What a stunning world heritage area, have spend some time in Tasmania's and so glad that the areas have extra protection as they are so special. Have to say too, there is a world class eye roll at about the 2:22 mark in the vid :D Thanks again for the vids, they are fantastic. Cheers.

  • @1psfinla
    @1psfinla 4 года назад

    Thank you both for another wonderful episode. The bees and butterflies were wonderful. It's good to see more of Kirsten on camera. I totally agree with her about the baby monkey. That poor wartie will never bee the same! Somehow I knew when I saw the little black spots that it was going to be some kind of dung. Those were tiny caterpillars for so much "rain." Love your series and will try and be patient for a whole week for the next one! Love the me, my wife, and the wildlife logo/map of Africa. Hope we get to see lots of the continent with you!

    Back in the 80s in New England we had trillions of caterpillars that defoliated the trees and it sounded like pouring rain as the poop came down. Most trees were stripped of there leaves for about three years til they had some kind of disease to kill most off
