The spectacled weavers in the palm tree are now feeding one baby that left the nest this morning. The youngster is quite deep in the palm.
21 March - The baby changed his position in the palm tree several times over two or three hours, but then the whole family disappeared! No sight or sound of any of them until dusk, when both parents visited the nest briefly; one staying inside for two or three minutes and the other just hanging around the entrance, then they both flew off and we haven't seen or heard anything of them since.
Attached is a rather fuzzy photograph of the chick that fell from the nest on the 13th and another of the nest yesterday morning after the baby left.
