Notes:   One new green nest observed. These are either Village or Southern Masked Weavers, not Lesser. No birds seen for ID. Spent over an hour in hide. Other photographer showed me pics of a Village in reedbeds next to hide - taken earlier that day. nests look like Southern Masked - shape, position in tree and out-of season building more indicative of SMW in this area.
