Cronje P. 2013. Raider of the Baglafecht Weaver nest: Vervet Monkey Ornithological Observations 4:131-132

In this paper Pieter Cronje describes a Vervet Monkey raiding some nests of the Baglafecht Weaver Ploceus baglafecht in Kenya. Pieter had submitted a PHOWN record for the colony a few days earlier, and he promptly sent in a repeat record when he saw the monkey with a nest. Pieter includes photos of the colony and of the monkey in this paper.

Vervet Monkeys have been recorded as raiding nests of Southern Masked Weavers and Lesser Masked Weavers previously.
