Seven Monitors were on duty in the Gardens Tuesday morning, chatting to all the visitors who showed an interest in the Eagles and updating them on the current situation.
Although it was impossible to witness Makatsa and Mahlori’s brooding from below the Waterfall, there were repeated ‘changes of shifts’ during the day. Both Eagles were performing their fair share of egg-sitting.
