758279228/11/201332Directly in front of and above restaurant area - where birds were first recorded in 2012-1-20 (Vm 1854). 1. LMW recolonised this area after being cleared because they messed the tables. 2. 4 different weaver species found above the restaurant site. Village, Southern, Lesser & Spectacled Weaver. 3. The previous Village weaver report (2013-10-12), in knob thorn above the staff quarters has been totally vacated - probably due to exposure and predation. 4. no ringed birds noted between 17h45 & 18h15.
