Notes:   The nest is situated close to the road through the reserve. The road is in the process of being upgraded and a new bridge is being constructed about 200 metres from the nesting site. The ranger in charge, Dalo Ngcobo, was concerned that the birds might abandon the nest. In the afternoon on the way back to the lodge we noticed both birds on the nest.
