very interested in what I was doing.
At
Croc Dam

Recorded as the sun was almost down at Croc Dam on Karongwe
Reserve. Egyptian Geese can be heard across the water as well
as
many frogs and the splashing of fish as they jump out of the water to catch insects.
Raindrop
Frogs
01:28
These are my favorite frogs at Karongwe. I’m wasn't
sure what the species name
was, to me they make a sound that reminds me of a raindrop.
But Walter Knapp
came to the rescue and ID'd these as Bubbling
Kassina [Kassina
senegalensi]. Recorded
at dusk again along the edge of a small dam.

This is a lazy Monday afternoon wandering up the hill towards Table

of South
Africa.

Shebeen [bar] in
Imizamo Yethu Township near Hout Bay. Hout Bay is down the
Cape
Peninsula from Cape Town, on the way to the Cape of Good
Hope. This track
is the sound of the jukebox and young folks cheering as some of their
rank are
breakdancing for us.
