Notes:   VM 7476, 7477, 7478 revisited. Lesser masked, Village, golden. Weaver & heron colonies across dam from Panic dam hide. Visited mid afternoon at 16H22. No weavers or herons seen in trees. Much fewer nests seen and most seem old or disused. (old means earlier this season) One Lesser MW double decker noted, the lower nest looks new. Believe that the weavers have bred and left. Season over.
