They are adorable - even if they keep shouting all the time or look grumpy because they were left out while feeding. =O:
But what a wonderful sighting! O:V

Thanks nan, Mel, Flutts, Sprocks, Dewi \O

We made our way back to the Taita Site and were there at about 3.00PM. We were there till about 5.00 PM and got a very brief glimpse of the Taita "chasing" two Black Eagles and did not even get a chance to get a photo. O/

The next morning we were back at the site at 7.00AM - No Taita in sight but we got the specialist nest raider for about half an hour.

So we will have to return another time and hope it will be third time luck to get a good Taita sighting.
