3 nests in tree, another 5 accross stream in reedbeds overhanging water.
1. Golden weavers definitely recondition existing nests. Examined a number of 'old' nests to check on inner lining - green repairs/patches found on many.
2. Seems that there are 'pairs' of golden weavers every 20 to 40m along these reedbeds. Each pair has a couple of nests - ie there are small clusters of nests - not colonies. Final count along this 1km of reedbed and stream reached over 70 plus- with some looking very old. Some had faeces. |
