Is this the old JHB Botanical Park?

The old Transvaal National Botanic Garden. It is in Roodepoort/Krugersdorp area.

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



This is the result



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

must be a lot of people on the "bridge" at certain time

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

I assume, this is not an 'ordinary' travel tale but you visit there more often?

Actually It does not get very busy nan, or rather we have not seen in very crowded around black eagles.

It is ver safe RP. There are car guards in theparking area and many people use the gardens for a Sunday outing just to walk amongst all the indigenous plants or have a picnic.
