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.

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?
