1028DCLocality Luapula River Camp Latitude, longitude -10.8975904565364, 28.5439503192902 [300 m accuracy] Date 2016/1/11 Notes I visited the Island on the Luapula River again to observe these strange nests build by Ocullaris. These birds build their nests in a strange way as if they want to imitate the dry out leaves of Papyrus Plants. As you can see on the pictures, the nests are well camouflaged and very difficult to distinguish from the papyrus's. Most were abandoned, but on one of the pictures where a bird is busy building, you can see a few straws already attached to the short inlet. [see also 17933] Nest count 6 Nest site other
