Re: Walter Sisulu National Botanical Gardens
The Black Eagles nest close to the waterfall. The top nest has not been used for a few years, pity, as you can see the top nest when you walk to the top of the falls. Both nests can be seen in photo 2 below

The only way to photograph the nest presently in use is from the foot of the waterfalls

It has been a while since we visted WSNBG so we were pleasantly surprised to see an outdoor gym, which looks cool.

Aha! Great to see a bit more of the surroundings of the black eagle's home.

God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.
