Great stuff! I opened it up and left it running under some other windows. 5
minutes later I heard weird *snrrk*, *gloosh* sounds. It was a family of
elephants - two adults, a juvenile and a baby, all taking a drink at about
11pm local time. The cameraman did a nice job following them around.

A fun effect was seeing what looked like shooting stars zip past the camera
every now and then. Flying insects at a guess, leaving trails because the
camera gain was set so high.
