I decided to orientate myself with the scale of the
Electric Martial Eagle Project by purchasing 14 1:250 000 maps from the mapping
department in Rondebosch. My plan was to put them above my desk so that when I
am looking for a location near to the power lines or somebody tells me about a
new nest, I can jump up on my desk and find it.This may seem like archaic
behaviour since I could just use a mapping program, but it is just not the
same as having all the detail of the area in front of you at once.
Unfortunately my maps were only up for a couple of weeks as cupboards needed to
be installed on the wall above my desk. Even though I don’t have the maps above
my desk anymore the exercise was useful to show me just how massive this
project is going to be.

It was brilliant to have so much detail
