Localityfarmyard houses near R36 road between Lydenberg & Ohrigstad
Latitude, longitude-24.860155, 30.570742 [0 m accuracy]
Date2015/10/9
NotesLocation: large thorn tree besides old farmyard houses near R36 road. Comment: stopped because noticed oxpeckers on a cow. Some were also WBSweavers! 2 sitting on a cow - using it as a perch. There were other trees with nests but no access and quite a few weavers flying around and calling. This location was almost opposite the tree with nests (just reported) between the road and railway line, ie. Seems to be quite a widespread colony. This area has many old, abandoned buildings. Rusplek is an abandoned village maybe dating back to Voortrekker periods. Nests. Picture shows 6 nests -but no access for accurate count.
