tomboyamelia: Haven't been able to get to this for a long time due to changing landscape. Figured its time to archive all my old ones and start a new.

Geocache Description:

This cache is quite literally in the middle of nowhere. Whats so special about this particular spot is the tower (it looks like an old tv aeriel) about 20m the other side of the fence directly in line with GZ, we regularly get to see the Fish Eagle and the Long Crested Eagle (not at the same time) perched here and just relaxing. Remember to keep quiet if you want to see them.

We also see numerous other bird species out here. When planting this cache, just as the sun was setting, a flock of Barn Swallows was flying around us at head height. Also seen louries, rain birds, widdow birds, weavers and red bishops, egyptian and spurwing geese, Francolins and many other birds. This is a Birder's Paradise As usual, dont worry if you bump into horses out here, just please leave all fences intact so that livestock cannot get out. Any single strand wire should be expected to be electric fence (not killer, just horse control). Parking at Guava Forest's (GC3D62B) Parking. We have made this one quite a bit harder to find, as our previously planted ones were very easy. No snakes were spotted in the planting of this cache, but be alert to possible ticks. This is a VERY remote area. If you wish to do this at night, you may, however, contact me (cache owner) for safe and locked up parking, DO NOT park at Guava Forest if you are going at night. Lucky to see Fireflys when hiking this trail at night. Pick a path, any path
