Snapshot Serengeti Talk
Looks like a couple crowned lapwings
Gorgeous #serval
#whirlwind
Yeah, I figured it was probably a moth, just captured at the right time to have that outline.
Looks like an #owl in flight to me.
#rainbow
#moon
#bird #hornbill Ground Hornbill
Pretty #sunset
#butterfly
Maybe a hare poking its head up in the center?
#bird #bustard
#insect #butterfly
#bird in the water, possibly sandpiper or some other shorebird.
Ah, for once it's not the Coqui francolins! These look like Crested Francolins to me.
#black-bellied-bustard
I don't think I've ever seen #impala "resting" before, and they're all laying down here.
My field guide has the Nyasa (or Lillian's) Lovebird's range as only in the extreme south of Tanzania, so probably wouldn't be in Serengeti.
Agree, #owl. The wings are too straight to be a bat, and too wide to be a nightjar.
Yes, a dove, but hard to see what species from this capture.
Yes, #cape-rook, a type of crow.
#black-shouldered-kite
Looks like a Marsh owl. Have had quite a few of these in previous seasons.
#hornbill of some sort, hard to see clearly with the lens flare. I'm going to guess it's an African Grey Hornbill.
Our first #lovebird! (that I know of anyway). I'll put this one in the ID guide.
Not sure it's large, and there's one on the zebra's back, which makes me think wattled starlings.
Yes, several guinea fowl. Even if you can't see the blue heads the spotted feathers are distinctive.
A very large resting buffalo. See the previous shot ASG000zsx4. Also with warthog rump.
#insect
I think this is a #Steenbok. I know we've had a couple come up but nowhere to classify, so I tagged it as Reedbuck, closest match.
Agree, size and shape indicate some sort of medium-sized raptor like a #buzzard, but hard to see enough detail for better ID.
Hard to tell with his back to the camera. Probably Senegal, more common.
Yes, either Tawny or Steppe #eagle. Hard to tell apart.
Baboon #baby getting a ride.
Sure looks like it!
Too bad it's out of focus. I'm guessing maybe Bronze Mannikin?
#crowned-lapwing
#gray-backed-fiscal
#oxpecker going for a ride
Looks like a spotted hyena. Frame 2 shows the ears pretty well.
Definitely hippo. Looks like he just got out of a rather muddy bath.
#superb-starling
Yes, a marsh owl I believe!
Looks like a bat to me, too.
The big ones are #crowned-lapwing, and the smaller one looks like a #white-headed-buffalo-weaver.
Yes, #black-headed-heron
Probably the smaller white-bellied #bustard.
Thanks! And even the good captures make for tough ID much of the time. A head turned the wrong way or shadow can really obscure the markers.
Rüppell's - the scaly pattern on the adult is the key, the others are most likely juveniles.
What a gorgeous Grant's stag.
Nothing here, but something definitely WAS here.
LBJ in the grass. Not enough to go on.
Black-headed #heron
That would be my guess, too.
It's a black-headed #heron. They're the only heron I've ever found in the photos, though I'm holding out for that Goliath Heron!
White-tailed #mongoose
#porcupine in daylight!
Probably a kestrel or falcon.
There were some very similar captures in earlier seasons, but I don't think we ever figured out what bird was using the camera as a perch.
#kite #black-shouldered-kite
#insect looks like a dragonfly
Magpie #shrike would be my guess, too, but the tail seems too short. But really hard to tell from these frames.
It's a secretary bird.
White-bellied #bustard
#oxpecker
Here he is a few minutes later with head up. ASG000orve
Looks like swayback (lordosis) - not uncommon in horses so probably not uncommon in zebras either. Usually not debilitating.
Banded #mongoose
Very skinny female #lion
#balloon
A few somethings way in the distance, not enough to go on.
#collar
That's gotta be the skinniest #buffalo I've seen. Maybe just an old man?
There are several lions in the study area that have radio collars. #collar hashtag will turn up quite a few photos of them.
They're Cape Rooks, relatives of crows and ravens.
#francolin
#impossible
#cattle-egret
#bird #marabou-stork
#bird maybe a swallow?
#bird White-bellied #bustard
Nubian or Lappet-faced #vulture. Torgos tracheliotos
#starling, possibly greater blue-eared
#bird #rook
#bird Cattle #egret
#bird maybe a #wheatear?
#baby #elephant nap
#bird #oxpecker
Random Grant's with group of Tommies, threw me for a second.
#bird Coqui #francolin
#pregnant?
Really like this capture of 4 #zebra mares with their foals.
White #stork
Run, little Tommie!
#oxpecker snatching at flies on a #buffalo
maybe wishful thinking, but the speck in the distance looks pretty ostrich-shaped.
#bat
#hyena #hunt!
A nice orderly line of #wildebeest
Weird digital error on frame 1
#bird Marsh #owl
Guessing one of the storks. Several have white bellies, could be any of them.
Little game of #mongoose peek-a-boo? or whack-a-mongoose?
Zebras have their backs turned to this #hyena. Luckily he looks like a #young one.
I dunno, something about the walk says duck. Maybe Egyptian #goose? Saw lots when I was there, same season.
I think I see a bit of red beak, so I'm calling these Red-billed Buffalo-weavers. #weaver
Looks like one of the ring-necked #dove species
Can't tell if he's just turning, or if something on the ground has him spooked.
#bird, bad lighting, can't ID
Don't think I've seen #giraffe at night before, and the one in the back appears to be laying down?
#action Impala!
Black #bird in lower right, not much to go on, but maybe a Cape #rook?
Guinea fowl feathers.
Probably a Wattled #starling on the zebra's back.
Yep, looks like a #dik-dik. White ring around the eye is pretty clear.
Whole lotta #cattle-egret
Love the disapproving look the buffalo are giving the camera. #cattle-egret
Coqui #francolin
Cape Rook #cape-rook
Red-billed #hornbill
Crowned #lapwing
Orange heads make me think these are Coqui Francolins.
I think that's a Yellow-throated #sandgrouse on the right.
?? I interpreted it as cat whiskers.
Called this a Vervet #monkey, possibly climbing the tree the camera is on.
#vulture stretching a wing, what a wingspan they have!
I see you!
Gotta be a #lion
Banded #mongoose! And the #bird looks like a #dove.
Too tall to be anything but hartebeest or giraffe, and legs don't seem stout enough for giraffe.
Whole bunch of White #stork
#bird #cattle-egret
Just got the tail, but pretty sure it's a #cheetah
#sunset
Gorgeous #sky, with #vulture
Nice sequence of the #elephant's prehensile trunk.
#aardvark
Who is moving the branch?
#bird probably Tawny #eagle
#buzzard #bird (Possibly Common Buzzard)
#fiscal
#bird Grey-backed #fiscal
What's going on over there?
#insect Nice!
#bird #sandgrouse
Yes, I think Grey-backed #fiscal. I also wonder if it's stashed its lunch on the camera. Ew.
I'm going to hazard a guess that this is a Magpie #shrike. The tail is very long, and no white shown except the wings.
#reptile
#rhino
Nice close-up of #elephant skin.
Not much to go on here!
#bushbuck
Tawny #eagle
#bird
Either Senegal or Black-winged #lapwing, I think.
#cattle-egret #egret
#serval
Looks like a Grey-backed #fiscal. They seem to especially like the grass that's just been cut.
Looks like a White-headed Buffalo-weaver.
Looks like a Crowned #lapwing (aka plover) to me, too.
Might also be a Greater Blue-eared #starling. They've got the brightest iridescent blue color, and this one is pretty bright.
Agree, White-headed Buffalo-weaver.
Kinda stumped on this. Maybe a #wildebeest with a broken horn? That was my guess.
Shadow moving, looks #human
Best I can figure this is a mother and her young foal having a little nap. Have collected others from this time here: CSGS0001gp
It's a baby laying down for a nap. I've collected as many as I can find from this series for context: CSGS0001gp
Baby laying down, adults are around. See this collection for more context. CSGS0001gp
Looks like a #warthog snout to me.
#bird cattle #egret
#bird White #stork
Aw crud, found the previous capture showing more of him, and it's just a buffalo. ASG000f1sy
OMG #rhino!!!! And close, too!
That's a nice lilac-breasted roller!
Sleepy tommie.
#baby #hyena looking right at the camera!
#bird Look like #bee-eaters to me.
Height of the animal and shape of the ear suggests #serval.
#bird Seen at this trap pretty often, but this is a better view, and I'm still convinced they're Coqui #francolin
#sleepy
Wow! That's a lotta #elephant! And babies!
#bird Superb #starling
I couldn't come up with anything that was big and tall and hairy enough for this capture. Went with waterbuck. Probably wrong.
It does really look like a stick insect, but it could just be a stick.
#fire
Very young wildebeest #calf
#bird #starling
#bird, looks like a #dove to me.
swarm of #flies
#side-striped #jackal
Big, bulky #bird. Probably #vulture.
So far I've got 3 with this same hartebeest dangling his balls in front of the camera, stood there for at least an hour.
#bird, probably a #hornbill in the tree
#bird #cattleegret
#cute
#bird My guess is Coqui #francolin.
White-bellied #bustards, adult in foreground, juvenile in back.
Very pregnant wildebeest
#bird #shrike Possibly Red-backed?
#bird #mariboustork
#bird, looks like a #starling
Spooked!
Tail isn't much to go on, but I guessed #civet
#bird #vulture
OK, maybe I shouldn't have counted the nests, but there are definitely #weaver #birds here.
#insect #dragonfly
Rare hippo out in daylight.
I think #corncrake
Seems to be missing most of her tail.
#bird By the tail, guessing pin-tailed #whydah
#insect, big bee or beetle
Not entirely sure, but looks like a skink? Could be foliage, but the pattern is pretty crisp.
#dragonfly
#bird From the wingspan, too big to be a bat. Probably an #owl.
#bird #dove
Spotted #thick-knee?
#bird Two very large birds in tree, possibly #vultures
#lion #cub #nursing
#bird Raptor of some sort
#masai
Cute!
I think the tommy have been in the grant's favorite spot and got kicked out.
#hornbill, possibly red-billed?
#pregnant
Quite a swarm of flies, no wonder he's shaking his head.
King of the hill
Grizzled old man Tommie
#cubs
#bird Size and tail make me think #go-away, but maybe a #hornbill?
White-bellied #bustard #bird
Hey, it's one of the ID guide photos!
This guy looks really tired.
#baby #topi!
Guessing #hyena on this one solely on the swarm of flies traveling with it.
#bird #oxpecker along for the ride
What's up there?
#cub
I think this is a #lion trying to take the camera apart.
#bird #plover or #lapwing ?
I think it just has an itch on its ear, scratching with the hind foot.
#bird white-bellied #bustard
#bird small #bustard or #thick-knee ?
Too black to be guinea fowl, maybe a couple of #vultures?
#guess
Great #aardvark capture!!!
#bee
#bird, possibly a #thick-knee?
From the wingspan and shape, probably a #vulture
Not much to go on, but black-tipped tail is clear. #aardwolf or #stripedhyena ?
Plus #ants on the tree
What a great capture of this proud #lion!
#bird #starling or #oxpecker ?
#bird, probably a cattle #egret
Not much to go on. Best my field guide scan comes up with is a #chat?
As a north-american birder, those wing bars scream #nightjar. But I'm probably wrong.
Tawny or Steppe #eagle
Short game of tag?
Laughing #heyena
#heyena with #prey
#sandgrouse
#fiscal?
Did I finally find an #aardwolf ?
#waterbuck ?
Looks like a mix of #francolin and something else, sandgrouse?
Very exciting white-tailed #mongoose !!!
Small raptor flies through frame 1. #falcon ?
Finally, a #caracal !
Spotted this poor little guy with the mangled ear twice now (same camera trap)
Lappet-faced #vulture
#starling
#lapwing ?
Guessing hartebeest. Obviously quite tall, but lips aren't the right shape for giraffe
One in the back looks very pregnant
Ground #hornbill !
He looks like he spotted something.
Poor little guy has a pretty badly mangled ear.
Is that a weed-whacker?
I has an itch
#owl
Not really sure what this bustard is up to.
Maybe pregnant?
Guessing impala on this one, too tall and stocky to be a gazelle.
Running very fast from something.
Cutting the grass away from in front of the camera?
#francolin of some sort
Can only see him in the reflection.
Silver-back #jackal
Splendid #starling
#porcupine Eeeee!
These three frames all seem to have been shot at totally different times.
Hard to say, but I'll guess by the size that it's a tommie
Zebra on frame 3 not shot at the same time as frames 1 and 2
Sproing!
This #eland seems to have an old and rather serious eye injury.
Mud bath time!
I has an itch.
Not entirely sure, but hump isn't as pronounced as Hartebeest and quite stocky, so guessing #eland
Guessing wildebeest based on the hairy background animal, but very hard to tell what's walking in front.
#leopard ? could be a lion, but I think I see spots
#owl ?
Four #cheetah !!!
Too indistinct.
Guessing it's a second Grant's in the foreground, but could be a second hartebeest
eyes in the dark
Hard to say, but I think I see stripes, so I'm going with #zebra
Maybe wishful thinking that this is a #lion - but they are usually the ones asleep in front of the cameras.
My second #honey-badger !
#bird #hoopoe ?
#bird Red-necked Spurfowl?
#bird #dove of some sort, probably Laughing
too close up to be sure, but default is always #impala
Something in the distance, unclear.
Took this one into Photshop to lighten. They're #zebras
#serval Now up to four!
#cheetah nose
All I gots is ears. But pretty sure they're #impala ears.
#serval My third!
Something very small. Possibly rodent or mongoose.
Flying insects, and not enough to ID on in frame 2
Guessing at #reedbuck
#eland moving fast, and I'm guessing at a black #kite chasing him.
could be something, but who knows what?
#lightning
Big bird, could be bustard or secretary, but not enough detail.
Guessing #eland, but not a lot to go on. Looks big like eland, though.
#serval My second!
No animals, though it looks like weavers building a nest in the grass.
Guessing. Default antelope is always impala.
There's a note on frame 3, but I can't read it.
rain?
Looks like operator's hand going over the trap device.
Not 100% sure on #eland, but horns look right.
Guessing here, but looks too big to be impala and tawny all over, so hartebeest is best bet.
I'll leave to the experts, but my guess is crested cranes.
#honey-badger !!!
I think these are actually White (or Black)-bellied #bustards, but figured I'd classify them as Kori for at least some approximation.
#francolin ?
Something on frame 2, but not enough to ID
#eagle of some sort. Tawny or Steppe?
Guessing #human on this one.
#cheetah Photo bomb!
Not a lot to go on, but the default is always #impala
Something moving in the distance, impossible to ID
Some large dark animal on the right, not enough to ID. Probably buffalo?
Something behind the bush, but can't see it distinctly enough to ID
#aardvark ??
Not much to go on, but from the shape and size, aardvark is my best guess.
#topi in frame 3 definitely not from the same time as frames 1 and 2.
Looks like a vulture on the rock in the distance.
Something there, but impossible to ID
Most exciting spot yet!
Not enough to say for sure, but might be a wildebeest at the far right of the frame.
Something flies through frames 2 and 3, but I think it's an insect.
Someone's tail in frame 1, probably wildebeest.
Additional animals in background look like zebra, too far to be sure.
Large herd of something but too far away and too dark to see what they are.
Looks like the rump of a Cape Buffalo on frame 1, but doesn't look like it was taken at the same time as the zebras on frames 2&3.
Photo bomb! IDed by texture more than anything.
Can see some legs of antelope or zebra, but too dark to tell what exactly it is.
Looks like a couple crowned lapwings
Gorgeous #serval
#whirlwind
Yeah, I figured it was probably a moth, just captured at the right time to have that outline.
Looks like an #owl in flight to me.

Looks like a bat to me, too.
The big ones are #crowned-lapwing, and the smaller one looks like a #white-headed-buffalo-weaver.
Yes, #black-headed-heron
Probably the smaller white-bellied #bustard.

Agree, White-headed Buffalo-weaver.
Kinda stumped on this. Maybe a #wildebeest with a broken horn? That was my guess.
#bird Cattle #egret

Best I can figure this is a mother and her young foal having a little nap. Have collected others from this time here: CSGS0001gp
It's a baby laying down for a nap. I've collected as many as I can find from this series for context: CSGS0001gp
Baby laying down, adults are around. See this collection for more context. CSGS0001gp
Looks like a #warthog snout to me.

I couldn't come up with anything that was big and tall and hairy enough for this capture. Went with waterbuck. Probably wrong.
It does really look like a stick insect, but it could just be a stick.

#bird Two very large birds in tree, possibly #vultures
#lion #cub #nursing
#bird Raptor of some sort
#masai
Cute!
I think the tommy have been in the grant's favorite spot and got kicked out.
#hornbill, possibly red-billed?
#pregnant
Quite a swarm of flies, no wonder he's shaking his head.
King of the hill
#pregnant
#bird #oxpecker
#bird White-bellied #bustard
Grizzled old man Tommie
#cubs
#bird Size and tail make me think #go-away, but maybe a #hornbill?
White-bellied #bustard #bird
#bird #oxpecker
#bird #oxpecker
Hey, it's one of the ID guide photos!
This guy looks really tired.
#baby #topi!
Guessing #hyena on this one solely on the swarm of flies traveling with it.
#bird #oxpecker along for the ride
What's up there?
#bird #oxpecker
#cub
I think this is a #lion trying to take the camera apart.
#bird #plover or #lapwing ?
I think it just has an itch on its ear, scratching with the hind foot.
#pregnant
#bird white-bellied #bustard
#bird small #bustard or #thick-knee ?
Too black to be guinea fowl, maybe a couple of #vultures?
#bird #oxpecker
#bird cattle #egret
#guess
Great #aardvark capture!!!
#bee
#bird, possibly a #thick-knee?
#bird Superb #starling
From the wingspan and shape, probably a #vulture
Not much to go on, but black-tipped tail is clear. #aardwolf or #stripedhyena ?
Plus #ants on the tree
What a great capture of this proud #lion!
#bird #starling or #oxpecker ?
#bird, probably a cattle #egret
Not much to go on. Best my field guide scan comes up with is a #chat?
As a north-american birder, those wing bars scream #nightjar. But I'm probably wrong.
Tawny or Steppe #eagle
Short game of tag?
Laughing #heyena
#heyena with #prey
#sandgrouse
#fiscal?
#collar
#dragonfly
#collar
Did I finally find an #aardwolf ?
#waterbuck ?
Looks like a mix of #francolin and something else, sandgrouse?
Very exciting white-tailed #mongoose !!!
Small raptor flies through frame 1. #falcon ?
White-bellied #bustard
#francolin
Finally, a #caracal !
Spotted this poor little guy with the mangled ear twice now (same camera trap)
Lappet-faced #vulture
#starling
#lapwing ?
Guessing hartebeest. Obviously quite tall, but lips aren't the right shape for giraffe
One in the back looks very pregnant
Ground #hornbill !
He looks like he spotted something.
Poor little guy has a pretty badly mangled ear.
Is that a weed-whacker?
I has an itch
#owl
Not really sure what this bustard is up to.
#francolin
Maybe pregnant?
Guessing impala on this one, too tall and stocky to be a gazelle.
Running very fast from something.
Cutting the grass away from in front of the camera?
#francolin of some sort
Can only see him in the reflection.
Silver-back #jackal
Splendid #starling
#porcupine Eeeee!
These three frames all seem to have been shot at totally different times.
Hard to say, but I'll guess by the size that it's a tommie
Zebra on frame 3 not shot at the same time as frames 1 and 2
Sproing!
This #eland seems to have an old and rather serious eye injury.
Mud bath time!
I has an itch.
Not entirely sure, but hump isn't as pronounced as Hartebeest and quite stocky, so guessing #eland
Guessing wildebeest based on the hairy background animal, but very hard to tell what's walking in front.
#leopard ? could be a lion, but I think I see spots
#bird #starling
#owl ?
Four #cheetah !!!
Too indistinct.
Guessing it's a second Grant's in the foreground, but could be a second hartebeest
eyes in the dark
Hard to say, but I think I see stripes, so I'm going with #zebra
Maybe wishful thinking that this is a #lion - but they are usually the ones asleep in front of the cameras.
My second #honey-badger !
#bird #hoopoe ?
#bird Red-necked Spurfowl?
#fire
#bird #dove of some sort, probably Laughing
too close up to be sure, but default is always #impala
Something in the distance, unclear.
Took this one into Photshop to lighten. They're #zebras
#serval Now up to four!
#cheetah nose
All I gots is ears. But pretty sure they're #impala ears.
#serval My third!
Something very small. Possibly rodent or mongoose.
Flying insects, and not enough to ID on in frame 2
Guessing at #reedbuck
#eland moving fast, and I'm guessing at a black #kite chasing him.
could be something, but who knows what?
#lightning
Big bird, could be bustard or secretary, but not enough detail.
Guessing #eland, but not a lot to go on. Looks big like eland, though.
#serval My second!
No animals, though it looks like weavers building a nest in the grass.
Guessing. Default antelope is always impala.
There's a note on frame 3, but I can't read it.
rain?
Looks like operator's hand going over the trap device.
Not 100% sure on #eland, but horns look right.
Guessing here, but looks too big to be impala and tawny all over, so hartebeest is best bet.
I'll leave to the experts, but my guess is crested cranes.
#honey-badger !!!
I think these are actually White (or Black)-bellied #bustards, but figured I'd classify them as Kori for at least some approximation.
#francolin ?
Something on frame 2, but not enough to ID
#eagle of some sort. Tawny or Steppe?
Guessing #human on this one.
#cheetah Photo bomb!
#bee
Not a lot to go on, but the default is always #impala
Something moving in the distance, impossible to ID
Some large dark animal on the right, not enough to ID. Probably buffalo?
Something behind the bush, but can't see it distinctly enough to ID
#aardvark ??
Not much to go on, but from the shape and size, aardvark is my best guess.
#topi in frame 3 definitely not from the same time as frames 1 and 2.
Looks like a vulture on the rock in the distance.
Something there, but impossible to ID
#serval
Most exciting spot yet!
Not enough to say for sure, but might be a wildebeest at the far right of the frame.
Something flies through frames 2 and 3, but I think it's an insect.
Someone's tail in frame 1, probably wildebeest.
Additional animals in background look like zebra, too far to be sure.
Large herd of something but too far away and too dark to see what they are.
Looks like the rump of a Cape Buffalo on frame 1, but doesn't look like it was taken at the same time as the zebras on frames 2&3.
Photo bomb! IDed by texture more than anything.
Can see some legs of antelope or zebra, but too dark to tell what exactly it is.
