We returned to the homestay at about 10am and went our separate ways until 4pm when we will head out again when the heat has abated a little. I decided to give the bridge an hour before the serious heat set in and I'm glad I did. First off I had an oriental honey buzzard fly over, and then about 10 minute later I spotted two large eagles flying my way. Fortunately they kept going and went right over me and were clearly a couple of adult black eagles. This species has a really distinct look with wide "hands" and narrow "arms", pinching where they join the body, plus a long tail and a very black plumage. Magnificent birds and totally, unexpected. The bridge that keeps giving!
