Locus:   2931CC
Observer:   Van Vuuren A
Date of record:   2011-02-04
Number of photos:   2
Notes:   We assume it is the same pair that is now building the second nest so close to the first - the entrance tunnel of the second is still shorter than that of the first nest. There is regular activity at both nests and in the garden, but unclear if they are still breeding.
