Notes	mixed colony in 2 trees near garage ablutions. Comment: very active colonies - all three species feeding young. Village weaver nests seem old - or made from old grass - one new green nest. seen in picture-2 adults actively feeding young. Colony active but numbers of birds seen reduced - probably due to prolonged drought in region. Yet, food & water plentiful due to garage being a major truck stop. Nests not counted - cannot differentiate between old, being used and new(green).
Nest count	0
Nest site	tree
