The last time it was full of water was after the floods in 1988. For the past years, during the drought, there was little water in these man-made quarries that were used to mine ballast for the railway lines in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Visagie the abseiling and rescue team of De Aar has assisted her since 2009.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey abseil to the nest on the cliffs to pick up the Verreaux\u2019s eagle chick for me to ring, and afterwards put it back safely into the nest. As far as we know, all the chicks have survived until they fledged and left the area.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Blockquote\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_5f15019e\">\n<div class=\"text\">The leader of the abseil group, Tjaart van der Walt, always checks on the chick to ensure it is healthy until it leaves the breeding area. In the past, he has seen how the adults teach the chick to fly. He also once saw the adults catch a reedbuck lamb.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201dThis year offered a different experience. The quarry was full of water after the good rains and the group had to implement new measures. It is estimated that the depth of the water may be about 30\u2009m, as it is currently fed by an underground fountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe area in and around the quarry is used for 4 X 4 driving, and many people go there for a picnic or braai. The eagles are used to people being in the area.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo reach the other side of the quarry near the cliffside where the eagles\u2019 nest is, we used a small kayak. Cleon Lameyer rowed me over and brought all the other team members back when they were finished with the task. We wore safety jackets whilst in the boat and used two-way radios to communicate with each other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the cliff is very steep, the nest is not accessible without abseiling. The team uses rescue techniques, which means that everyone and everything is doubly secured and attached at two places.&nbsp;Jonas Mthimunye is an experienced abseiler who also ensured the anchor ropes were secure.&nbsp;The chick is put in a bag on ropes and lowered to Visagie, who weighs, measures and rings the chick before she puts it back in the bag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The abseilers then bring the bag back up, returns the chick to the nest and leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOver the years many people have joined us on the ringing outing. It is always an amazing experience for others to see the chick and to listen to our conversations about the eagles and our experiences over the years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe used to publish it in the local newspaper, and from there it was shared with other newspapers and on the internet. We also have a WhatsApp group where we share the news about the eagles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAfter 14 years it is still worthwhile to share information about the eagles to make people aware of their responsibility towards nature,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"Middle\" id=\"embed_80ead290\">\n<div

The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province.

It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and
