Flora and Fauna: Black Eagles nesting from April to October - Reunion to Stone Needle

Black Eagle Nest in Upper Tonquani

It is with great joy that we have noticed the breeding and nesting of Verreaux's Eagles in a new site in upper Tonquani. For the duration of the season, until 1 October 2020 or further notice, please refrain from climbing between the Reunion and Stone Needle areas as the nest is situated above these climbs and they must not be disturbed.
