Just had a quick look and read if the forumn, haven't had chance till now..One lonely bear at the Falls , no fish ajumpin, think that's it now at least till September when another run comes. Think most of those fish have spawned and dying , that's when the bears as you say go off to easier places to catch the fish as they not moving so quick.We could still see a few bears around , hope so. There has been a wolf at the falls quite a lot.
Never mind Granny at least you can watch the Gorilla cam when that's up and running, they're working on it. That should be good . Must say the bears site you do get a lot of buffering and freeze so hope it's better with The gorillas.

Just shows, you know lots about these bears and fish. I didn't know that they had already had the salmon run. I thought the fish were still waiting to go up river.

Is Otis around still and is he as fat ?

I think you're right Granny about the fish pooling and getting ready. I only go off the forumn people and what they say but it seems one of the rangers said as soon as wind changes or something they will all be on the move and hopefully see abit more salmon catching. So keep having a little look . Otis was there last night I had a quick look before I went asleep and he was in his office as they call it.Moving quite slowly these days but ye piling on the fat. Sorry meant to say we have had a lot of salmon and bears catching there were up to 20 bears there one day. I think the salmon come in pulses so there will be loads then nothing few a few days.

Have you seen this pretty little lady bear, Granny? She's a beauty silver and grey , unusual colours as they mostly browns and blondes. As someone said " good job she's at Katmai and protected as hunters would love to have that coat" let's hope she stays at Brookfall.

Gosh Cools. Not having looked in on them for a while, I; got out of the habit. No , hadn't seen this lady. She is gorgeous. Does she have a name ?
I would love to know Otis has any offspring, but I doubt anyone would know, its all done under cover probably !

I can't believe what I have just seen happened at Brooks falls yesterday!!! Some brainless idiot climbed from the viewing platform and waded into the water where all the bears are. So proud of himself huh I hope he gets thrown into jail! If one of those bears had got him the poor thing would have most probably been shot. MORON!!!

Unbelievable ! He could have easily lost his footing. Surely there must be some rangers around to keep the idiots in line ? There's always ONE crackpot and he could have probably got just a good a photo with a zoom.

Tembe elephant park. No elephants atm, but lots of lovely night time noises. That's what I like about this live coverage, close your eyes and be there.

OTIS BACK ? My goodness, and he 's taken up position in his office too, by the looks of it. So pleased, he always causes a bit of concern when waiting to see him surface each year. Magnificent old chap. nice the pic Cools, did you take that one ?

Me take it Granny as if ha. You know me and tech we hardly gel. No I just copied it from the many that are on the forumn. Ye he looks good needs to bulk up a lot but that will come when the fishies start jumping. Like seeing him in his office as they call it.

Good fun watching. Just watched this heron at Tau Waterhole catch and eat the biggest fish I have ever seen. Took him ages to get it down. It must surely be breakfast ,dinner and tea in one .
There's a bit of a rumpus going on there tonight. Not sure if it's the monkeys kicking off or what.
