Good morning JudyB! Hello

I was never sure exactly where the nest was in relation to the cam last year, but here's a couple of photos of where it was...

forum/viewtopic.php?topic=235475#235475

It was located somewhere to the left of the nest on a rock wall. The nest is in a crevice along the wall.

It does appear that this year the cam has been moved to a more head on view, showing more of the inner part of the nest we couldn't see before.

But it doesn't look like the cam placement has been changed? Puzzled Maybe the refresh cam is in a different spot...but where? The nest is high up on a rock wall, and from pictures I've seen, there's no place remotely close to put a cam that gives us the view we're seeing. Oh...the mystery.

Good morning, nightowl - and thanks for the links! I'm not awake enough to figure out what's where - but I did enjoy actually having a look at one of the adults!

It was announced on Facebook about 30 minutes ago that the cam is now LIVE! Clapping You can even hear the waterfall. I can't wait to hear what Emoyni, Thulane, and the chicklet (hopefully just one) sound like!

Hey Judy! Hello

Thanks! Grin

According to Africam's Facebook page, one egg has hatched in the last day or so. Waiting on the second one. Not to be mean, but I hope it doesn't hatch. fingers crossed I think we all know what happens if it does. *sigh*

This explains why we're seeing a more 'head on' view of the nest. They put a long arm on it this year.

ETA...

11:18AM CAT I only see one egg, but Africam posted, and added a s'cap, of both eggs on Facebook. I guess their earlier report of a hatch was wrong.
