Notes:   In the Acasia xanthophloea about 100 nests of Lesser Masked-weavers and in the palm which I think is Phoenix reclinata about 10 nests and the two trees are in very close proximity so the colony is one large one. The majority of the nests are Lesser Masked-weavers and a few are Southern Masked-weavers.
